Bette Midler is known as the 'Divine Miss M,' but she was named for another Hollywood legend. Midler says she was named after Bette Davis — but the two-time Oscar winner didn’t approve.
When asked why Davis, who died in 1989 after a long and decorated career that included such films as “All About Eve,” “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” and “Jezebel,” didn’t like the name, Midler was at a loss. “Who knows?” she said before giving a little background into a seemingly unpleasant chance encounter she had with the cinematic icon. “I went to Liz Taylor’s 60th birthday party. It was very interesting. And Miss Davis came and I had just had my baby,” Midler recalled.
