    Hoda is pure goodness and light ❤ Bette is just an absolute legend. I’ll never forget seeing her in Hello Dolly. I had just been through a divorce, the death of my mother and a redundancy - all in 6 months. For my 40th birthday I flew to New York from my home in Ireland and paid $400 to see Bette. An unforgettable night at the Schubert. I’d pay it all again ❤

    I'm Australian and in my mid 50s. Bette was a big influence on me when I was a kid. Of all the films and music she's been a part of, the biggest tear jerker was seeing a video of Bette on the other end of a phone talking to a terminal teen and singing " wind beneath my wings " when asked. It would have been an unseen moment had the family not put it on youtube, and it made me wonder how many times had Bette done that kind of thing in her life and no one even knows about it. As far as women being funny, Carol Burnett, Phyllis Diller, Lily Tomlin, and Bette are definitely my influencers. Strong, funny, bold, independent women. They definitely were a part of shaping me when I was young when I didn't have that kind of guidance in my life.
