  • From the sapfest 1988 film, Beaches, we have Bette Midler as C.C. Bloom, an aspiring actress and singer who eventually made it big. The film spans decades, so we do see her rise, but realistically, this film is about her relationship with her best friend (played by Barbara Hershey), and Midler’s singing career is far secondary to that. Still, this generated one of the biggest hits ever in “Wind Beneath My Wings”, and that alone could propel this to a possible induction.
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Beaches (1988)
  • Actors: Bette Midler
  • Songs you may remember: Wind Beneath My Wings
  • Why you should vote:: Midler again showcases that great singing voice; and there was a major hit from this film.
  • Why you should not vote:: We wager that if you are a male, you hated this film.
