Bette Midler really looks fat and dumpy in her new movie. Hasn’t she been keeping herself in shape? – O.W.
Let’s just say that Bette is pleasingly plump in “Down and Out in Beverly Hills,” her new flick opposite Richard Dreyfuss and Nick Nolle.
The Divine One portrays a spoiled Jewish matron who lives in nouveau rich splendor in Beverly Hills as the wife of a clothing hanger manufacturer.
The movie is a bitter social comedy, and Bette has her best part in years. She plays the mother of a college-age daughter – and looks the part.
