Mary Rose Foster "The Rose"

Mary Rose Foster The Rose
Originally intended to be a biopic of Janis Joplin, “The Rose” stars Bette Midler as Mary Rose Foster (nicknamed the Rose) as a drug and alcohol addicted singer in the late 60’s. She is loud, brash, talented but massively insecure and Midler takes this character through a roller coaster and earned an Oscar nomination for her performance. The film also generated a hit song (also named the Rose) that played during the end credits. If people remember this film, this has a solid shot.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Rose (1979)

Actor:
Bette Midler

Songs you might remember:
The Rose

Why you should vote for her:
Midler was great in this film, and it was an Academy Award nominated performance

Why you should not vote for her:
If you want to be negative, you could argue that she was just trying to be like Joplin.

Marvin Berry and the Starlighters
We first saw Marvin Berry and Starlighters as they played the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance. After a set, Marvin Berry injured his hand with a screwdriver helping Marty McFly out of a trunk. McFly stepped in with the guitar during “Earth Angel”, but electrified the crowd by singing (ok, lip synching) Chuck Berry’s Johnny B. Good. Or was it really Chuck’s song as Marvin called his cousin Chuck and told him that he “found the new sound he was looking for”.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Back to the Future (1985)

Actors:
Harry Waters Jr.
Tommy Thomas
Granville “Danny” Young
David Harold Brown
Lloyd L. Tolbert

Songs you might remember:
Earth Angel
Johnny B. Good

Why you should vote for them:
They played a decent part in one of the highest grossing films of the 1980’s.

Why you should not vote for them:
Their iconic song was Michael J. Fox lip-synching (and badly at that)

Marie DeSalle

Marie DeSalle
You will have to forgive our irrational crush on Lisa Bonet, but she was at her sultry best in High Fidelity where with her long dreadlocks and extended cameo with John Cusack we could not help but watch over and over again. Come one…we can’t be the only ones can we?




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
High Fidelity (2000)

Actor:
Lisa Bonet

Songs you might remember:
I Love Your Way

Why you should vote for her:
How about because you also have a crush on Lisa Bonet?

Why you should not vote for her:
We completely agree that there is a far better candidate from this movie.



The Mambo Kings

Mambo Kings The
We were not sure if they had a name for their band, so “The Mambo Kings” is what we are going for on the ballot. From the film of the same name, we have the story of two brothers from Cuba who flee from Havana to the States. There, they eventually pick up where they left off, playing clubs in New York City, like they did in Cuba. Now, as to whether this is a serious contender for the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, really depends on your opinion of Cuban music and whether you saw this film or not.  


  

The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Mambo Kings (1992)

Actors:
Armand Assante (Cesar Castillo)
Antonio Banderas (Nestor Castillo)

Songs you might remember:
Beautiful Maria of My Soul

Why you should vote for them:
This actually generated an Oscar nominated song.

Why you should not vote for them:
It was a Rock and Roll life, though not necessarily Rock and Roll
