Theatre Marquee for Bette Midler starring in 'I'll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers' at the Booth Theatre in New York City. 3/25/2013. Sue Mengers (Bette Midler) was an American original. She was the first female 'superagent' at a time when women talent agents of any kind were almost unheard of. She came from near poverty, a refugee from Hitler's Germany, and worked her way up through pluck, charm, and a legendary wit. In that uniquely American way, she invented herself; and when the career she wanted didn't exist, she invented that as well 'Superagent.' It was a term Hollywood all but coined for her. By the 1970's, she represented almost every major star in Hollywood and went on to become the town's most renowned hostess. Joe Mantello directs. Photo
