The star opens up about the success of her Hollywood romance…
The room filled with applause as Bette Midler was announced the winner of best actress in a musical at the Tony Awards last month. But nobody clapped louder than her husband of 32 years, Martin von Haselberg.
Beaming with pride, the 68-year-old performance artist and commodities dealer kissed his wife warmly as she headed to the stage to collect her gong for her role in stage show Hello, Dolly!.
Today, the couple form a loving and united front, but they haven’t always been so in sync. In fact, Bette, 71, says in the early years of their marriage, they almost split.
Bette and Martin met in 1984, fell passionately in love and wed six weeks later in Las Vegas. Bette was 39 and a big star with an Oscar nomination for The Rose.
Martin wasn’t hitting the same giddy heights in his own career and was often at home while his new wife worked more than ever.
