Bette Midler has enjoyed a highly acclaimed career, but it’s her work on the stage that means the most to her. Midler won a Tony Award for best actress in a musical in 2017 for the Broadway revival of “Hello Dolly!” She says it’s a role that stands out. “I must say the last one, ‘Hello Dolly!’— a dream come true,” she told TODAY’s Hoda Kotb in an interview that aired July 11. “I think that was the peak of my life. I really do think that was the greatest thing I ever did.
Midler, who has earned three Emmy Awards, three Grammy Awards and two Academy Award nominations, cemented herself long ago as one of the iconic stars of her generation, the result of a dogged determination. “I never said I’m going to try this. I said I’m going to do this. For me, there was nothing else. I couldn’t do anything else. This is what I could do, and I loved it with all my heart. I was going to do it,” she said.
