Bootleg Betty, Mister D

The only reason I included this movie was because of something I heard and then noticed. Kind of a trivia thing that I would like to ask Miss M about someday.

I read an interview once where Ms. Midler said that she had a small part in this movie. It may have been just a walk-on; I don't quite remember. However, her scene ended up on the cutting room floor never to be seen again.

Now, fast forward to the movie Stella. If you watch closely you'll see a scene where Stella is in a movie theatre with her best drinking bud and fellow barkeep watching a movie. Unfortunately, they can't sit thru the whole thing because Stella's water breaks...it's time to have a baby.

Anyway, I noticed that the movie they were watching was, you guessed it, Goodbye Columbus.

Trivia...don't you just love it?
