Summary: ‘Art Or Bust’ (Press, 19 November 1986)
Bette Midler is set to star in her own show titled “Art or Bust” tonight at 9 p.m. on channel Two. This live performance features Midler delivering an array of songs, ranging from stunning melodies to bawdy ballads, at the University of Minnesota. Accompanied by a female trio that matches her quirky style, Midler showcases her talents in an all-around entertaining manner. Midler's journey began in Hawaii, where she was determined to become an actress. After starting her career with minor roles on New York stages, she gained significant recognition during her regular performances at a homosexual Turkish bathing house. This venue helped her attract the attention of talent scouts from notable television shows, including the “David Frost Show” and “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.” Following her rise to fame, Midler made numerous television appearances and, in 1972, released her breakthrough album, “The Divine Miss M.” This success laid the groundwork for her foray into film, with notable movies such as “The Rose,” which was inspired by the life of blues singer Janis Joplin. Her most recent film, “Ruthless People,” features Danny DeVito and adds to her impressive filmography.
