Harry Dean Stanton Feuded With Bette Midler On The Rose

Bette Midler on smoking for Sue Mengers role
[Bette Midler on smoking for Sue Mengers role] The cigarettes nearly killed me. I answer the phone now and people calling think it’s my husband. And my allergies in that theater – it’s a very old theater. And the hairspray! I never used hairspray. And the wigs! Let’s not talk about the fricking wigs, that was such a saga. But the cigarettes were the hardest. When I made “The Rose”, I did smoke, I smoked for six months, and years later I tried a cigarette again and it made me sick for two weeks. These are herbal cigarettes, but smoke is smoke. I was thrilled, though, when I finally got the timing down to smoke two at once – a cigarette in one hand and a joint in the other. That was Sue.

Bette Midler On The Song I’m Beautiful:
Bette Midler On The Song I’m Beautiful: “It’s a very upbeat message. because it says something. It’s about being done in, beaten up your whole life and finally standing up for yourself and saying, ‘I count! I exist.’ I got a little misty-eyed myself the first time I heard it. It’s very sweet and funny.†(The Hour – Sep 4, 1998)

Bette Midler “Can’t Wait” to See Idina Menzel Revive Her ‘Beaches‘ Role
10:52 PM PDT 8/2/2016 by Jackie Strause
The original CC took to Twitter on Tuesday night.
No one is more excited to see the upcoming TV revival of Beaches than Bette Midler.
In the 1988 feature film, Midler played the iconic role of CC Bloom, an aspiring singer who meets Hillary (played Barbara Hershey) as a kid on the Venice Boardwalk. The pair’s lifelong friendship is chronicled over decades in the beloved tearjerker, which was directed by Garry Marshall.
Now, Lifetime is set to remake the classic as a TV movie, with Idina Menzel stepping into the role of Midler’s CC.
“Can’t wait to see Idina Menzel as CC in Lifetime’s ‘Beaches!’†Midler tweeted on Tuesday night, adding: “DON’T TELL ME THE ENDING!”
The remake was announced one week after Marshall’s death, with production set to begin on Aug. 15 in Vancouver.
The movie’s music — including “Wind Beneath My Wings,” which earned record and song of the year at the 1990 Grammys — will be included with new takes from Menzel.
Casting is underway for the role of Hillary.
