In 2026, Bette Midler remains a lively presence in Manhattan, recently spotted in the West Village on a scorching summer day. At 80, the legendary entertainer continues to embrace her silver hair and signature colorful style. Though she sold her $50 million Fifth Avenue penthouse several years ago, Midler’s connection to New York remains strong, and she is often seen navigating the city with the same grit she had during her early performance days.
Professionally, Midler shows no signs of slowing down. She has openly spoken about her hope of completing EGOT status by finally winning an Oscar and has expressed interest in revisiting some of her most beloved roles. She has mentioned the idea of a Beaches sequel focused on C.C. Bloom later in life, as well as enthusiasm for a potential third Hocus Pocus film, urging studios to move quickly while the cast is still ready to return.
Beyond entertainment, Midler has become a prominent voice in activism. She recently joined Jane Fonda and Bernie Sanders at the “Elders for Kamala” fundraiser, using her large social media following to advocate for climate action and political engagement.
Her evolution into a respected elder figure reflects a focus on legacy and influence beyond the screen.
In her personal life, Midler is preparing to celebrate her 42nd wedding anniversary with artist Martin von Haselberg. She credits their long-lasting marriage to independence, humor, and—famously—separate bedrooms. As she enters her ninth decade, Midler continues to age authentically, remaining creative, outspoken, and unmistakably herself.
