When Bette Midler starred as Winifred Sanderson in the 1993 Halloween film “Hocus Pocus,” she already had a very well established acting and music career. Following the film, her success continued and she starred in many movies including, “First Wives Club,” “The Stepford Wives” and “The Women.” Most recently, Bette released a new album in 2014 called “It’s the Girls!” and went on a world tour in 2015 called, the “Devine Intervention Tour” to promote the album.
