Mayim Bialik is a very convincing Bette Midler; Marcie Leeds becomes Barbara Hershey (an underrated actress). Midler is great too. With John Heard, Spalding Gray, Lainie Kazan (the mother, no relation to Elia).
Unexpected belly laughs e.g. "When I saw you weren't in your dressing room, I thought you were dead!" Well written by Mary Agnes Donoghue from a novel by Iris Rainer. Shot by Dante Spinotti.
Naturally, Hector Elizondo is in it.
Isn't there an old Hollywood film with a similar plot???
