"Bette Midler, also known as Divine Miss M&#8212;the indomitable and incomparable singer, actor, and musical theater extraordinaire, with a career spanning almost half a century&#8212;revisits her classic memoir, now with a new introduction.This book was a kind of last hurrah. When I read it, I hear a disarmingly younger, sweeter voice&#8230;I am not sure that this little confection captures a whole time, but I think it&#8217;s an accurate picture of the spirit and tone of what I was doing in those days...I hope it holds up, and that you find your best younger self in it as I do... With her brassy voice and bold performances making the world finally pay attention, this ambitious Jewish girl from Hawaii, needs no introduction. Grammy award&#8211;winning singer, Academy Award&#8211;nominee, Broadway star of her critically acclaimed one-woman show, and beloved actress in The Rose, Beaches, and Down and Out in Beverly Hills&#8212;Bette Midler is a household name whose career and fans span generations.  In A View from A Broad, Bette relives her career through memories of endless rehearsals, her fear of flying, crazy schedules, and wisdom she learned from Thai Gondoliers with her trademark razor-blade wit that her fans have grown to know, love, and expect.  Filled with photographs, a new introduction, and heartwarming stories that highlight only a portion of a brilliant career, A View from a Broad is the perfect gift for anyone who loves music, theater, or just plain fun&#8212;and will be cherished by the fans of Divine Miss M for years to come."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
