Bette Midler is critical of her acting in a film she directs.
Wednesday, December 14, 1988
Bette Midler has some unkind things to say about an actress – herself. “In this case, I would have to say the producer in me nailed the actor in me to the wall,” Midler says of her dual role in the forthcoming Beaches (which opens in Winnipeg Jan. 13), where the songstress acted opposite Barbara Hershey and also co-produced the f i l m.
“I didn’t think it was going to be as much work as it was,” said Midler.
“Eighteen-hour days, 19-hour days. Singing, dancing, editing, soundtrack.”
