A View from a Broad

I couldn't resist buying the reissue of Bette Midler’s memoir, A View from a Broad. When I peer at the glossy photos, I think of my own small part in her story: The day her manager asked his new assistant, which was me, to pick Bette Midler up at the airport. “But how will I know her?” I asked. His lips turned up and he said, "You can't miss her." 

And when the Divine Miss M strutted down that airport corridor toward me with her flaming red hair, I saw what he meant. I also knew my life would never be the same again.
