Mister D:Helen Hunt talks a little about working with the Divine Miss M with Out In Hollywood’s Greg Fernandez after the Palm Springs premiere of “Then She Found Me”:
Helen plays a woman who is facing 40 with her biological clock ticking loudly. We get to see her deal with a series of life changes that includes meeting her wacky birth mother (Midler), a talk show host who initially tells her daughter that her birth father is Steve McQueen!
The film provides both Hunt and Midler with their best film roles in years. Midler, a two-time Academy Award nominee (“The Rose” “For the Boys”) has been criminally under-utilized on the big screen since “First Wives Club” more than a decade ago.
“The size of the talent is not to be underestimated,” Helen said of the Divine Miss M. “Her best moments in the movie are hers. I may have contributed some and brought out some sides of her that I haven’t seen on film. But her most stunning moments, she just showed up with. I would love to take all the credit but I can’t.”
Glad you were able to see it. And thanks for dropping by. I tried to write you one day and something was wrong with your email or something…then I forgot to write back….
That’s a great quote. I loved Bette in this film (finally saw it.) Thanks for all of the updates and stay in touch!
