Bette Midler confesses to having ‘some tailoring done’ on her face
The 77-year-old actress addressed long-running rumours that she underwent plastic surgery to maintain her youthful looks and said she had some assistance to continue to look “beautiful.”
Speaking while accepting the Outstanding Collaboration Award on stage at the Costume Designers Guild Awards on Monday, 2702.23, “Time has a way of smoothing everything out.”
“I’ve been at it for close to 60 years … and I do look fabulous, I know. I’ve had some tailoring done on my face.”
The “Hocus Pocus” actress said in 2008 that she had been “considered” getting surgery but claimed she wasn’t ready for it at the time.
She said: “Doesn’t everybody consider it? When it really starts to cave in, I probably will start to give it a real good think.”
With Martin von Haselberg, with whom she shares a 36-year-old daughter named Sophie, Bette has previously acknowledged that she doesn’t believe she “could cope” if she were born during the social media era.
She said: “I don’t think I could cope. Life is too complicated now, it’s too hard. When I was growing up, we had the best of it. My generation had peace, contentment, civility; we don’t have those things today. People are allowed to say the worst things they can think of [on social media], which can injure people to the core of their being. It destroys lives, which is just not fair.”
The singer of “Wind Beneath My Wings” acknowledged that with so many streaming services and television channels available nowadays, she finds it difficult to even watch television.
She said: “I miss the simplicity of the past. In the old days, you had one remote control, you pressed a button, and watched whatever you wanted. “Now, there are 15 remotes and it’s a trial to get the TV on and the sound working. You need a teenager or a live-in TV wrangler.
“There’s a lot of, ‘What did he say?’ And, ‘Put the captioning on.’ The TV is new, we’re old. That’s the problem.”
