Of course, it's all extremely, fabulous and hip Since 1995, Kathy has delighted in portraying Bette Midler - both the look AND the voice. She has cavorted as the Divine Diva in Branson, Cancun, Myrtle Beach, San Francisco, Bally's and Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City Millenium New Years, Japan, Berlin, Cologne, Mystic Lakes Minnesota, Basel-Switzerland, Utah, Las Vegas, The Caribbean, Florida, Mall of America, Banff-Alberta, Toronto, Stage West Dinner Theatre, Woody's, 'The Docks', Cedar's, Cruise Line and Barrymore's "Luv Ball" in Ottawa, and her one-woman Tribute to Bette Show in Hartford, Connecticut. "Kathy Thompson's portrayal of Bette Midler ranks among the best celebrity impersonations the local "Legends" franchise has ever offered. Thompson's physical resemblance to Midler is striking: She has the same toothy grin, blonde locks and zaftig build as her subject. And she ably captures Midler's body language. Her right-on-target vocal impression enhances the illusion it's actually Midler on the Palace Theater stage as she offers such signatures as "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B", "I'm Beautiful" and a "The Rose" / "Wind Beneath My Wings" medley."
