PEOPLE, Page 101Do Not CopyBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Kathleen Brady
After BETTE MIDLER would not chirp her hit Do You Wanna Dance
for a 1985 Ford commercial, admen hired an ex-Midler backup singer
to imitate the diva. The star stamped her stiletto heels and sued.
Last week she finally won the case -- plus $400,000. That'll about
keep her in sheet music, but the principle is what matters. Said
the Divine Miss M: "I hope my victory will in a small way
contribute to higher ethical standards in the advertising field."
Do you wanna bet?
