Bette Midler On The Drama Of Jinxed With Ken Wahl: “Docs he make love to his dog?” Midler asked, innocently.“I was crumbling, drowning.” Midler says. “Sometimes, I’d wake up not able to breathe. I’d have to pound my chest to catch my breath.” She went to an analyst for help in facing the fact that, having chosen both director and co-star, she was largely to blame for what happened. (1989)
