Talk:Bette Midler

message: These two sentences under "1990-2000: Continued Success" are grammatically
off and don't make sense; can someone who knows what "and a piano soon after" means fix these?
   Another memorable event occurred that night, Midler began singing
   "Here's That Rainy Day," Carson's favorite song. Carson then joined
   a few lyrics later, and a piano soon after.

message: I came here to look up stuff about the "Bette" TV show that aired in 2000; particularly about its ratings and why it was cancelled so soon. If anyone could add something about it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

text: Seems like it's a misunderstanding that her parents were from Paterson, but she was born in Honolulu. I found a Dec. 4, 1973 NY Times article that begins "Despite Bette Midler's Honolulu birthplace, New York has always regarded her as homegrown and hometown." I found a later 1978 NY Times profile that stated "daughter of a house painter from Honolulu by way of Paterson, N.J... The family originally settled there, she said, when her father selected it as the place farthest away from his domineering mother in Paterson, N.J. The Circumstances of her birth have given Midler a series of one-liners about being the only Jewish girl in a Samoan Neighborhood." BETTE MIDLER GOES HOLLYWOOD by Warren Hoge Dec 10, 1978. p.

text: Allmusic is a reliable source, and it now says Honolulu.[ http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bette-midler-mn0000053739/biography] WIkipedia disallows IMDB for biographical claims, and e-Hawaii appears to be a commercial, non-journalistic site, with the link given just above no longer active. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:26, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Birthplace

message: Somebody had placed her Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee, and Xmas albums in the "compilations" section when these are actually studio albums. A compilation album is a collection of work that the same artist has already previously recorded and released (such as "Experience The Divine" is a compilation of Midler's greatest hits).

thread_title:  Awards 

message: Midler had a Vegas show entitled Bette Midler: The Showgirl Must Go On at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The show comprised The Staggering Harlettes, 20 female dancers called The Caesar Salad Girls and a 13-piece band. Midler was reportedly paid $120 million per year for her 200 shows.[29]
$120 million seemed like a crazy number and the citation doesn't actually say that (or anything about how much she made) but probably references the lines immediately before it.  $120 is so far disputable then, and I'm going to guess it means to say a number significantly lower since --no one-- is making that much money for a show in Vegas. 12.162.122.5 (talk) 19:24, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Her birthplace appears to be disputed, and the only source for Honolulu is the search page for a subscription site. Wikipedia disallows search pages (as opposed to search results) as a reference source. I'm removing the disallowed cite and add a cite-request tag. In addition, how would a genealogy site support a claim about how much her parents paid to rent a house?  --Tenebrae (talk) 19:22, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for your work on this . I have seen a couple other errors by that "Filmreference.com" website over the years so I am not sure how reliable they are. One thing - I am not seeing where you added into the article the two references that you found. Please feel free to do so and you might even remove the one that says NJ but I will leave that up to you. Thanks again and cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 03:26, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

text: Hi, MarnetteD. It's been a while . Hope you're well. I added the cites under "Early life and family." And actually, FilmReference is much more reliable than a lot of sites precisely because it aggregates bibliographic sources that it cites at the bottom of each page, and unlike many places will note discrepancies in those sources. That last in itself makes it valuable. I've seen errors at TV Guide, Biography.com, books and elsewhere, so that's an unfortunate part of any research sourcing. But thank you for the kind words! --Tenebrae (talk) 18:34, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Heehee I am such a maroon (old Bugs Bunny cartoon reference) . I was looking at the edits that came after this one and completely missed that you had added the refs in question before. So I just have to say good work again. MarnetteD|Talk 19:16, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Birthplace Pt 2

message: I was recently looking at her infobox and I noticed that there are two years active info listed twice in her infobox, is there any chance of someone could remove her years active from her "musical career" section in her infobox? Because its kinda unnecessary to have years active listed twice in her infobox, because her years active information is already listed above in "infobox person" section. Just having one years active info already covers both information of both her acting and music career. 50.78.30.101 (talk) 20:35, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
