Great video, but is that really Martin von Hassleburg, (Bettes husband), playing the sheik? Doesn't look much like him.

Love,

Mama

Bette and Mick look like they are having too much fun ... if that is possible. Bette was a lot of woman. Mick was a real ladies' man and I think he still is. The six degrees of trivia is amazing.
