Bette Midler may have been passed over for a Tony Award nomination for her Broadway play, “I’ll Eat You Last,” but there is no denying that she has become a box-office powerhouse this season. Her one-woman comedy, written by the Tony winner John Logan (“Red”) about the 1970s Hollywood super-agent Sue Mengers, has recouped its $2.4 million capitalization after eight weeks of performances, the show’s producers announced on Thursday.

Bette Midler, 67, has won numerous awards for acting, comedy and singing – notably Wind Beneath My Wings – and plays a granny in film Parental Guidance.

In Parental Guidance, you and Billy Crystal play a married couple who are asked to babysit their grandchildren. What happens? It’s like the Clash Of The Titans. We raised our daughter [played by Marisa Tomei] with no structure. She has brought her own children up with lots of rules and regulations. So there’s tension because we’re very loose and unstructured. The film is fun and quite true to life. Most people are mortified by the way they themselves were raised and look forward to raising their own kids in a completely different way. It also takes a realistic look at families and how parents are striving to achieve balance in their work and personal lives. Read More
