Bette Midler On The First Wive’s Club: “There are a lot of angry women around, and they were rooting for us. I’ve been saying for years, ”˜What are we, girls, but waitresses at the banquet of life? I mean, I knew this picture couldn’t flop. And the three girls really got along well. Diane (Diane Keaton) is so low-key. I mean she hasn’t even SEEN movies that she was in. I’d look at the videos, and I’d say ”˜It’s OK, girls. But let’s do it again.’” (Brownsville Herald, April 14, 1997)
