A flashback gem from the 2000 sitcom “Bette”. Bette Midler and Joanna Gleason revisit the moment Bette thought her career was about to soar after her Academy Award nomination for 1979’s “The Rose”. Instead, she made the infamous box office bomb “Jinxed”. The scene lands with humor and honesty, especially knowing Bette lost the Oscar to Sally Field for “Norma Rae”. Hollywood dreams rarely follow a straight line. #Bette #BetteMidler #TheDivineMissM #JoannaGleason #TheRose #Jinxed #NormaRae #SallyF

Only Bette Midler could take Kid Rock’s head-banging “Bawitaba” and flip it on its head serving it up sassy and swinging with jazz club flair on her 2000 sitcom “Bette”, scatting through the chaos like it was always meant for a smoky lounge. 🎶 #BetteMidler #JazzItUp #DivineMissM #KidRock | Bette Midler: Still Divine
