Before sending an email, please take the time to read the following frequently asked questions below to  make sure your question hasn't already been answered.    

How can I join the official Bette Midler fan club?   

Unfortunately, Bette Midler does not have an official fan club which you can join.  The only club that she ever personally endorsed was called the “Best On Bette” fan club, which was created in the late 70’s.  It ran for a few years but was sadly disbanded in the mid 80’s when Bette's film career took off.    

Where can I find “The Bette Midler Show” on DVD?     

Sadly, this concert has not yet been released on DVD.  You can however find this show on VHS and Laser Disc.  It is currently out of print, but copies show up every now and then on Ebay and used video stores.  Click here to see if anybody is currently offering this show on Ebay.  

Where can I find “Live At Last” on DVD?   

What you’re looking for is actually called “The Bette Midler Show,” which is a filmed version of Bette’s “Live At Last” album.  See the above question for more information.    

Where can I find the full version of "The Bette Midler Show" ?

When the show was released on VHS it was tragically hacked to pieces from it's original broadcast version.  "Birds," "Shiver Me Timbers," and the entire "Story of Nanette" segment was left out.  To date, the full version has never been commercially released.  The only copies that have surfaced have come from fans who taped it off the television during the original broadcast.  

The best way to find a copy of this version is to canvas the online fan community to see who has it and who will be willing to make a copy for you.  We currently can not make copies of our video footage unless it is in trade for something we do not have.

Can you help me get in touch with Bette?     

Unfortunate I can not.  I have no affiliation with Bette or her current employees.  You can however try writing to her production company:

Miss M Productions
1636 Third Avenue, #315
New York, NY 
10128  USA

Will Bette Midler read my email?    

No.  This is just a fan run website which has no affiliation with Bette Midler.  This site is by no means a way to get in touch with her.  But please view the above question for more information on how you may get in touch with her.

Why can't I play the audio files on your site?  

Most of the audio files on this website are in Real Media format, which requires special software to play.  In order to play the files you will need either Real Player (click here to download) or Real Player Alternative (click here to download).  Both programs are free of charge - just be sure you find the link for the free player.  

Why can't I play the video files on your site?  

All the videos on the website are in Flash format.  In order to play these files you will need to download the latest version of Flash Player (click here to download).  

Why doesn't the photo gallery work?

The photo gallery runs using Flash software.  In order to view the gallery properly you will likely need to download the latest version of Flash Player to your computer (click here to download).  

How can I get an autographed photo of Bette?   

You can write to:

Miss M Productions
1636 Third Avenue, #315
New York, NY 
10128  USA

However, the only way to get a 100% authentic personalized autograph is by having the luck of meeting Bette face to face and asking her to sign something for you.  

What is the Taco joke?

"If God did not intend for man to eat pussy, he would not have shaped them like a taco."

Can you help me get backstage to meet Bette?     

Fist I would like to emphasize that this website deals with Bette's past career, not her present-day career.  However, with that said, we will give the best answer that we can.  Getting backstage is like winning the lottery; the odds are slim of it happening.  You either have to know somebody high up in the ranks who'll let you in, win a special contest, or pay a ridiculous amount of money to be granted a special meeting.    

However the best way to meet Bette at a concert is to try and catch her at the stage door leaving the venue.  

How can I get Bette to acknowledge me onstage or dedicated a song to me?

It's very unlikely that Bette would make an acknowledgment to you on stage, or dedicate a song to somebody for you.  If she did that for one person then she'd have to do it for everybody else, and I imagine that would be a lot of people to please.  The best thing Bette can do to please her fans is to just put on a really great show for them.  I wouldn't hope for much more than that. 

How did you get all those great old pictures of Bette?   

We tracked down many of the photographers who took these wonderful photos, and we also got in touch with fans who collected them throughout the years.  It's simply amazing how far a little research can go.

Why do you only focus on Bette’s early career?   

We focus on Bette’s early career because that's what we enjoy most about her.  As for the site, we felt there was a whole legacy she left behind that was slowly being forgotten.  We wanted to try and help keep the era alive for fans to enjoy and appreciate as much as we do.  And since there were so many other websites that followed Bette’s current career, we felt no need to cover that.

What is Bette up to now, when is she touring again?

You're on the wrong webpage mate.  If you want to keep up with the latest, I suggest you visit Don over at Bootleg Betty.  

Will you sell me some of the rare shows that you have?

We don't sell any of the materials we have because we don't believe in making money off them.  We're  always willing to trade for things that we don't have.  However, we're mostly only interested in vintage materials. 

What happened to all the audio you had on the site?

Well, there's a full length audio show from each tour online.  Just visit the tour pages to find those.  You'll also find audio clips from other performances throughout the site, as well as album clips and rare clips from singles and unreleased songs.  There are also promotional materials such as radio interviews and concert reviews as well.  Plenty to enjoy.    

In regards to other full length shows and the "song of the week" section that use to be featured on this site . . . we had to stop doing that when people started selling the recordings.  We don't claim to own any of these recordings - nor did we originally record them - but we have put our time into restoring them, enhancing them, and editing them in order to be featured on the website - not to mention the time and effort spent in tracking a lot of these recordings down.  So when somebody else comes in and takes that work and uses it for their own gain, that's very hurtful.  Therefore we've sadly had to become very selective with what we share on the site.  But we continue to strive and share what treasures that we can.  

Can I help out on the site?  Do you accept submissions? 

My goodness, YES!  We are always looking for help and submissions.  This site might give the impression that help isn't needed, but that impression is far from the truth!  We're always hoping to hear from fans who were there in those days, fans who are willing to share their stories or materials to help make this site as complete as possible.  Please do not hesitate to write if there's something you think you can contribute.  All help is extremely appreciated and will be fully credited when possible.
