Time travel back thirty years to a chic bathhouse where "the Jewish Tinker Bell" dazzled the demi-monde of New York City. This clip presentation not only pays homage to Miss M, but also critically examines why Gay and Jewish audiences perceive Midler as a celebrity icon. Rarely-seen footage will include Bette's appearance at New York's Gay Pride Rally in 1973 and her outrageous stunt to score a $5,000 pledge at the 1975 UJA telethon.
Andrew Ingall curates screenings on popular culture, opera, and television. He has presented programs at the International Association for Media and History, the National Yiddish Book Center, and the New York Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. He is Collections Manager for the National Jewish Archive of Broadcasting at The Jewish Museum, New York.
In cooperation with Congregation Bet Mishpachah and Reel Affirmations, Washington, DC's International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.
