The 1990s were a defining decade for Bette Midler. She earned an Oscar nomination, dazzled as Mama Rose in Gypsy on television, and brought America to tears with her Emmy-winning farewell to Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. We also revisit the unexpected success of The First Wives Club, and how Hocus Pocus went from a summer flop to a Halloween institution complete with “yabos.”.
This is the Divine Miss M in the 90s.
