Bath Fixtures

BETTE MIDLER
December 1, 1945

TREAT WILLIAMS
December 1, 1951

MARY MARTIN
December 1, 1913 - November 3, 1990

It is difficult, we concede, to think of any connective thread which would link our three birthday celebrants together. Then you remember that the Divine Miss M got her start at the Continental Baths, which provided the inspiration for Terence McNally's play, The Ritz - the film version of which featured an impossibly young Treat Williams. And the patrons of the baths were all often so blissed out, they probably thought they were Mary Martin riding a donkey. Or something like that.
