Mazel Tov - Bette Midler's Daughter Marries

Soph looks better in the cake pic.

[Quote] In the midst of COVID, a piece of $h!t president, and the power and poignancy of the Black Lives Matter movement, I got married!

The BLM comment is so... "I hear you, I see you... Now: About Me..."

Rather homely, no?

No picture of the groom? He must be very unphotogenic.

She looks fine. Just like her mother, except her mother looks "refreshed," though not overdone.

The daughter doesn't look like a Hollywood star, but she looks happy, happier than Rumer Willis or Chloe Mattanzi, who must've been crushed not to look like a movie star parent and built their lives around trying to anyway.

His name isn’t even mentioned in the linked article. Weird.

She was obviously adopted.

She's her mother's daughter.

‘Homely’ and ‘plain’ are polite to the point of dishonesty.

She’s ugly as sin.

That poor girl got the worst of her mother's unflattering features. She's probably the ugliest child of a star in Hollywood.

She makes Rumer Willis look like Grace Kelly.

What a minger!

They invented plastic surgery for a reason. Someone should tell that girl that our nose and ears grow throughout life. She'll end up looking like an anteater.

I love Bette and wish she had done more comedies.

A lovely smile but a nose (beak) that a plastic surgeon would love.

Hopefully the dowery included scheduled plastic surgeries.

She got the worst of Winifred Sanderson

She looks like she knows how to make good gefilte fish.

r10 "She's probably the ugliest child of a star in Hollywood."

ExCUSE me?

In "Beaches" Midler should have died and given HER away.

Sophie Von Haselberg...she has the best name.

God was watching something else when he created her.

She's in American Crime Story: Versace

I don't see how she could be homelier.

You're all fat cunts. Undoubtedly jealous she's getting cock on the regular and you are.....well, NOT.

She looks fine. She also looks like her mom before Bette's 287 plastic surgeries.

I love Versayce!

Would you rather her look like Olivia Newton-John's daughter? A freak.

R24, I'm sure her husband is getting all the cock. I bet this is another Peter Allen/Liza Minelli marriage and he just married that thing to have brunch with Bette every week.

One of these guys is her dad.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.

Bette is 74? Are she and Donna Mills drinking from the same well?

She looks fantastic. Got to see her perform at Radio City in the 90's. LOVE HER

r2 is so right. This chick just reinforces white privilege.

[quote]The BLM comment is so... "I hear you, I see you... Now: About Me..."

Wasn't that a shtick of Mom's?

"but enough about me, let's talk about you....what do YOU think about me?"

'She looks fine. Just like her mother, except her mother looks "refreshed," though not overdone.'

She has Bette's original hook nose. Bette got that and her front teeth fixed eons ago, perhaps when her movie career started. The youthening plastic surgery came later. Original Bette:

Holy Shit!

In the south, we keep the offspring that look like that locked in the attic.

It's called social responsibility.

Von usually indicates aristocracy. Is her father a Barron?

Are they purposely hiding the groom's identity?

It doesn't even mention his name in any of the articles.

Anyone know the name of the husband?

She and Bette lok like sisters and that's not a complement. Sophie looks like a plain old lady.

Someone needs to tell Sophie that the hair pulled back look is not a good one for her.

Didn't Bette make rude "jokes" about other people's ugly kids?

[quote]Didn't Bette make rude "jokes" about other people's ugly kids?

Yes. Princess Anne for one.

r38 Who does she think she is, Joan Rivers?

Sophie went to Yale undergrad and then Yale Drama. She had a bit part in a Woody Allen movie I've never heard of and then a small part in the Versace miniseries.

She's 33. For all of her familial connections, I don't think her acting career is really going to happen. OTOH, she probably doesn't really need to concern herself with actually making a living.

I love show biz dynasties.

Didn't Sophie have a kid in the last couple of years?

If Sophie has a sense of humor, I can see loads of work for her in TV and movies, though it will probably be supporting not lead. Funny how her speech rhythms are like Bette's, just like the dastardly BD Hyman's were like her Bette mother.

I hate that bastard BD.

[quote]Sophie went to Yale undergrad and then Yale Drama.

Yale was built with slave labor. Sophie needs to repent for her white privilege.

From instagram, she looks insufferable like her mother.

It's funny how much she looks like Mayim Bialik.

As Bette's only child,she probably doesnt give a shit how ugly she is when she'll end up with a couple of hundred million or so . I sure as shit wouldnt .

Bette didn't have her until she was 41? I had no idea. Was shocked to see Sophie was born in 1986.

I think Sophie looks like a lot of fun, honestly.

Bette Midler is national treasure. I hope the happy couple gets to fucking and gives her some grandbabies!

Bette didn't get married until she was 39, 6 weeks after meeting her husband. She had a miscarriage a few years after having Sophie.

I don't think acting is her big thing, more something she dabbles in

She’s Bette Midler’s only child. She’s smart (went to Yale), hates Trump, and is reportedly a very kind person.

And still we hate her because she’s not beautiful.

This place sucks.

Poor kid was beaten with the ugly stick.

what's the HUSBAND'S NAME?

R53 no one is hating her, we're just ragging on her looks. Her mother has made many jokes and rude comments about other people's looks over the years so don't feel too bad about it.

Those are your only two choices. She can either look like herself, OR like Chloe Lattanzi. Nothing in between, because those are the only two cvhoices for women!

Enter the Deplorables to make ugly jokes! Good for her!

I hope she's nicer than her mother is, and more secure.

I never realised Bette was such a munter before surgery. This poor girl had no real chance.

Who would have thought that out of all her contempories Glennie would birth the best looking kid?

[quote]Who would have thought that out of all her contempories Glennie would birth the best looking kid?

Yeah. But she still doesn't have an Oscar.

Better Midler was no beauty but she did have pretty coloring, nice skin and a petite body (in stature and height) and her daughter inherited none of those unfortunately. She did inherit a large sum of money however, so it's not hopeless

Not even The Daily Mail or, seemingly, any other news outlet has published the groom's name or picture. How odd for journalists to have to omit that vital detail. Is he a "very private person"? From reading these articles, you'd think that she married herself.

Thanks, OP. Your pic reminded me I need to pick up some sour cream and chives.

If you look on her Insta, there's a pic of who I'm pretty sure is the lucky fella. It's the guy in the close-up of an iPad, or iPhone, or something, if I remember correctly.

She looks like a fun person, and obviously she doesn’t feel she needs any plastic surgery. Good for her.

she is still miles above Rumer Willis

Poor thing looks like a Romanian peasant woman who milks cows.

I think his name is Harry? It's bizarre that his name is not mentioned in any of their wedding announcements. No one is that private.

Midler is 64, and yes she looks great.

R71, She's 74, not 64.

Here she is doing her imitation of Lena Dunham.

She was born in 1956.

Probably one of those people who's looked middle-aged all her life.

A photo of Sophie's mysterious husband. Apparently he's one of Bette's fans...…...

Oh my g-d. She could give Rumer Willis a run for her money for ugliest celebrity offspring.

R76 Sophie married a gay? Sounds about right for Bette Midler's spawn.

Midler was born in 1945.

I don't think so, she was 23 when she filmed The Rose.

Sophie looks like a regular New Yorker you might see on the subway. Like most people, she's got to play up the positives but she's fine. And it looks like she and Better are having a good time. I've got bigger things to be shitty about.

Her smile is kind. You can tell.

I remember seeing her in Versace and thinking how did a girl who looks like that get in this Ryan Murphy show. Then I looked up who she was and I knew how. (he hired Grace Gummer too. I guess to lure Meryl in as with Bette.)

She's no Robin Bartlett!

That is not a pretty girl, Mama.

Have to admire her courage in not going down the extensive plastic surgery route when she could easily afford it and pays a high price for not succumbing.

R74 / R80, Google is free. She was born in 1945. Not 1956.

She left home in Hawaii and moved to New York to work on Broadway when she was 20, in 1965. If she had been born in 1956 and done that, she would have been 11. Does that make sense to you?

Here she is on Ellen five years ago, telling her that she was 69.

Agree with R 86. Her decision to stick with her original face shows extreme confidence. On the other hand, Rummer tried every type of surgery and she looks like a refined “Lurch.”

I respect the young lady for being like me and rejecting nose-jobs

She doesn't need a nose job she needs a nose career.

[Quote] how did a girl who looks like that get in this Ryan Murphy show. Then I looked up who she was and I knew how.

?

I'm just here to see how the "Bette Midler is only 64" Troll doubles down this time.

She has a nice, warm smile. I like that. For me as a gay guy that's pretty enough.

She has nice skin, r73.

The fug gene is strong.

[quote]She has a nice, warm smile.

and

[quote]Her smile is kind.

Makes Sophie sound like the Miss Congeniality of celebrity children.

Butterface Bette succeeded on brass and bazooms.

Sophie? Well, she apparently found the one lid to her pot. Poor Bug-eyed Bea, however, sister under the unfortunate skin, found a lid fitting more than a few pots, if rumors are to be believed.

Bea Arthur was only married once, wasn't she? After her divorce, she drank.

how rude to send out pix of the bride with mom instead of the 'groom'.....

Already so matronly at 33. What would you call her (carb)-face shape?

R100 Wow, I had no idea she's just 33. She looks like she's in her mid-40s already.

They are ugly.

Maybe they are intelligent, kind and generous?

Bette has a twinkly quality. It's in the eyes.

These or this dumbbell who thinks Bette Midler is only 64 years old would mean that Bette was singing in the GAY BATHHOUSE when she was only 16 years old!

I'm thinking Bette is closer to 78.

OP- Your photo of Sophie she looks like she's wearing a MATERNITY DRESS- she looks MATRONLY and PREGNANT. Bette Milder looked matronly by the late 1980's. But the daughter is looking matronly 10 years younger than her mother.

I just found out that OP's photo was taken in June 2017 Sophie was only 30 and already looked MATRONLY and PREGNANT.

It speaks volumes about DL (and DLers) that some of Bette's rabid fans are rushing to assign the unattractive, lumpen daughter with all these virtues... with no real evidence.

She's ugly... she's probably funny and fun to be around!

She hasn't had cosmetic surgery (that we can detect)... bully for her! She must have great integrity! So brave.

Ironic, considering how ruthless most of you are about the looks other women less well connected or not thought of as "our ally."

PS: Bette is not my ally. Never was, never will be. I have the receipts.

Bette has grown better looking as she's aged. In the 80s she looked like a troll. When I watched Outrageous Fortune as a kid I couldn't understand why the guy would cheat on the blonde with the ginger.

She's not better looking, really. It's just that blonde hair gives the softness.

[quote] She did inherit a large sum of money however, so it's not hopeless

From whom? Neither of her parents has died yet.

Bette's acting career is dead.

[quote]Bette's acting career is dead.

Not it's not. She has a couple of Tonys, a few Emmys, a few Grammys. Gurlfriend is not going to her grave without that EGOT. If Bea Straight could get an Oscar with one scene, Bette will too. Maybe someone will be kind and give her a Lifetime Achievement Oscar.

I've worked with Bette. She is, to put it nicely, a bee-yatch.

She has her mother's old face.

Though Bette is a total phony, she's not Hollywood enough to get the PR/goodwill required to get an Oscar. Plus her acting style is too hammy to garner a Best Supporting nod.

Bette's daughter is ugly. Already insecure because she's an actress, you know she makes life hell for any girl in the room that is more attractive than her. How many extras were sent home? Hundreds probably.

Bette Midler's Daughter Gets Married In Low-Key 'Pandemic Wedding'

I we sure the groom isn't named George Glass?

Bette Midler (born December 1, 1945)

Are* we sure

The Kipper Kids were a duo composed of Martin Rochus Sebastian von Haselberg (born 20 January 1949) and Brian Routh (9 March 1948 – 3 August 2018), two artists known for the extreme, raucous and often funny performance art they made together in the 1970s and after. Von Haselberg lives and works in New York, U.S.; and Routh was living in Leicester, England, at the time of his death from cancer. From 1971, the duo were also known as Harry and Harry Kipper.

Sophie Frederica Alohilani von Haselberg (born November 14, 1986) is an American actress, best known for co-starring in the Woody Allen film Irrational Man.

In 2018, she played Linda Elwell in FX's The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.

R110, I love that movie!

[quote]Sophie Frederica Alohilani von Haselberg

That name doesn't go with THAT face.

[quote] Maybe someone will be kind and give her a Lifetime Achievement Oscar.

Honorary awards don't count towards having a real EGOT.

Supposedly she's very nice. She had a tiny part in ACS: THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE and was fine in it (though it was too small a part to tell if she has any range).

The father used to be some sort of circus performer as well as an athlete and had a nice body, despite the giant schnozz.

Bette looked her best with that hair color and style R121. She should go back to it and stop trying to torture her hair into blonde and or straight

No gay man should have an ounce of respect for Het Bette who used us to rise then turned her back. Fuck her

Midler is doing an AIDS fundraiser during the pandemic and performing on a virtual Pride event, and performed at last year's World Pride. She works consistently with gay men. She made one comment years ago about gay marriage that reflected a view even many gay men had, and yet some queens still can't get over it.

AND her ears stick out?!

Dad Martin's nose is even worse!

High-school senior Bette Midler - Class of 1963.

Wasn't Bette supposed to have been an extra in the film of Michener's HAWAII with Max von Sydow and Julie Andrews and took that money to move to NYC and that's how she started her career? That used to be the story that went around, Was a minor cabaret performer, got a gig as a replacement daughter in the original Fiddler on the Roof, went on to sing at the Continental Baths, Barry Manilow became her accompanist, and for the two of them, CAREERS!

That's how I remember it. Open to correction. Saw one of her Mermaid performances in the 80s and she was fabulous. So sorry I missed her Dolly. Bet she was great. Perfect part for her.

ayes R135, that was her story.

Bette's time at the Baths would make for a great movie.

Strip down to just your towel and let's go back to those glorious days at the Continental Baths.

She and the chick whose parents bought her the NY apartment in The Times are probably competing for the same parts.

I love that her mother picks up garbage on the beach. That is more important than what most people will do with their lives.

There must be at least 2000 cosmetic surgeons less than 3 mikes from her home. No excuse for that face.

Why should she get cosmetic surgery? She's rich. She's married. Bombshell isn't the only way to be.

[quote]She made one comment years ago about gay marriage that reflected a view even many gay men had, and yet some queens still can't get over it.

Don't ascribe Midler's opposition to gay marriage to "many gay men," you spineless weasel. You don't speak for me. And if she were unwilling to "consistently work with gay men" (pretty faint praise) the bitch would have no career at all.

It's not merely her contemptible POV on marriage. It's Midler's decades of silence on LGBT issues when we comprised her core audience. So glad she deigns to do AIDs fundraising now, that it's a "safe" chronic condition: it would have been better appreciated back in the 80s. Or the 90s. Or the 00s.

She is a limited talent, a self-promoting, nasty piece of work. She is actively disliked by many of her peers in show business as well as many of us in the LGBT community.

Oh, and fuck you.

Is this not from a gay benefit in the 1990s?

There is an interview posted on youtube from 1979 at a gay fundraiser in San Francisco and Jane Fonda is being asked about gay rights and she CLEARLY states her approval of gay rights. It was impressive for 1979.

[quote]Jane Fonda is being asked about gay rights and she CLEARLY states her approval of gay rights. It was impressive for 1979.

And Jane Fonda didn't have one hit movie throughout the 1980s.

good lord, she is so homely!

[quote]And Jane Fonda didn't have one hit movie throughout the 1980s.

9 to 5

Jane Fonda's Workout.

A mention in Steel Magnolias.

Big Bette never got over Sally beating her for an Oscar. Does she equally hate Jodie, who beat her in 91?

Also, let's not forget her comments of roles winning Oscars, not actors!

R142 is an insipid little cunt. What precisely would a straight Jewish woman in the 80s and 90s do for you to get off her back? She was at Pride in the 70s, she lost friends to AIDS, she raised money for AIDS research when it was still a death sentence. Is no less than joining Act-Up and chaining herself to a fence what is expected to be an ally?

And yes, it used to be part of being gay was that you didn't have to get married or join the military. Plenty of gay guys weren't clamouring it. Midler came up around gay men in the baths for fucks sake - trying to close them was very controversial. Being gay in the 70s was about fucking, not picking out china patterns and emulating the straights.

Looking at her Instagram, Sophie looks like a lot of fun and down to earth. Leave her be.

She’s actually rather cute, especially when she smiles. I wish her all the happiness in the world. I love Bette.

Meskite!

Did Bette ever do nudity in any of her movies?

Cute? WTF? Seek help.

She looks happy. It is uncommon for most celebrity children to radiate happiness. Both of her parents are off beat looking so this is what happens. Mazel tov indeed.

R157- Lens Dunham's parents are OFFBEAT looking. Lens Dunham is WORSE than OFFBEAT.

Just another vote for Sophie being happy. I was never a beauty either but I managed to have a fun life in NYC. Go, Sophie, go!

Do we think Sophie will pull a BD?

Doubt it, r160. They seem genuinely fond of each other.

I wonder why the husband doesn't want to be identified at all.

In the Victorian era, a respectable woman was mentioned in her life by the press three times: her birth, her marriage, and her death.

Her husband isn't a respectable Victorian woman?

She looks like a 1984 John Goodman in drag (see Revenge Of The Nerds).

Bette doesn't have an Oscar or acting Emmy and she's ancient. Hehehe
