Bette Midler holds most big name female humorists in high regard, except for Roseanne Barr.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t think she’s funny,” Midler says in a published report. “I think she’s crass.” But she describes Tracey Ullman as “brilliant – witty beyond belief” and Carol Burnett as “very, very classy. Whoopi Goldberg is described as “gifted ‘ and “geniune in
her own work.”
Midler herself has wrapped up filming a new Paul Mazursky picture with co-star Woody Allen. She plays a therapist anxious about the onset of her 16th wedding anniversary.
