And it looks like any talk of a Midler comeback may need to be put on hold: the actress (who’s only one Oscar away from having an EGOT) was about to play Linda Kenney Baden, the defense attorney for Phil Spector in the Al Pacino-starring biopic for HBO that David Mamet has just started filming, part of a supporting cast that also includes Jeffrey Tambor.and Bruce Willis still to play Howie Hubberman Bett Midler was meant to start shooting yesterday, but didn’t show up for her call-time, and Mamet told the crew two hours later that the actress had pulled out after suffering a herniated disc, on the orders of her doctor, and that the part would be recast.

It\’s amusing how those who pat themselves on the back for being oh so tolerant and liberal are always the first to lash out at people with idiotic blanket statements and histrionics.

For her EGOT she should make a film adaptation of Mystic Pizza: The Musical. No?
