Like her daughter, Bette Midler is also a singer and actress. She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii where she grew up as the daughter of a house painter and a homemaker.
As a child, Midler developed a knack for the dramatic arts and would go on to win several talent competitions and graduated from Radford High School before attending the University of Hawaii where she studied drama.
Her first big break in performing came in 1966 when she joined the cast of "Fiddler on the Roof." However, when success eluded her, she took up a weekend gig at the Continental Baths — a gay bathhouse. While there, she became a popular nightclub act .
During one of her performances, the president of Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertugun, heard Midler sing and promptly signed her to the label.
Her debut album was named after her famous nightclub act, "The Divine Miss M," and it went platinum, winning Midler a Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
From there, she would go on to win several Grammy Awards as well as Oscar nominations for her roles in movies like "The Rose" and "Beaches."
Sophie von Haselberg is her only child with Martin Von Haselberg whom she married in 1984 at a small chapel with an officiator styled like Elvis.
