Her sisters, Judy and Susan, are named after Judy Garland and Susan Hayward. Before she was famous, Midler worked in a processing plant on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, where Dole pineapples were processed.

Her first big album, The Divine Miss M, was produced by Barry Manilow, who was her accompanist at the Continental Baths. Midler collaborated with Mick Jagger on the video for a Rolling Stones cover, “Beast of Burden.” She was the final…

Did you write this second book because a lot has happened since, The Truth Is… in 2002? The first book is an introduction. The second book is the real life that has happened to me. I wanted to tell people where I’m at, what I’ve learned, how I’ve gotten through all this stuff. My first book wasn’t fun, but the second book is where I am now.

OFFICE RACE (SEPT. 4 ON COMEDY CENTRAL) It’s a comedy dream team when Beck Bennett, Joel McHale, and Kelsey Grammer come together for the original movie Office Race—with additional funny performances provided by Alyson Hannigan and J.B.

He then goes to great lengths—26.2…

When comedy legend Joan Rivers passed away at 81 nine years ago on Sept. 4, 2014, she was still hosting talk shows and making celebs wonder what cutting fashion criticism she might lob their way during a red-carpet chat.

Dear Marilyn, Why are manufacturers’ prescription drug bottles often less than half full and sometimes much less than that? Is this a marketing ploy? Or is some kind of obscure reason involved? —Bruce Nutting, Dexter, New York We consumers are accustomed to our local pharmacy dispensing anywhere from a small number to a large number of pills in a few standard-size bottles, and we know intuitively that the pharmacy wouldn’t need or want to stock a great many bottle sizes.
