“The Divine Miss M in Broadway's greatest Diva role!”

Why does Rose Hovick (Bette Midler) push so hard for a stage career for her daughters, and what is she really chasing? Emile Ardolino directs this television adaptation of the Arthur Laurents musical, with Jennifer Rae Beck as June, the favored act, and Cynthia Gibb as Louise, the quieter sister. Rose spends years sending June onstage while Louise waits in the wings, and the bond between mother and daughter is where the film keeps its weight.
