BETTE MIDLER - Interview about Jinxed a. o. (1983)

[ScottJayNY2011]

Guess Gene and Jane took the real NOSEDIVE. Only Bette Midler would be professional enough to humor this schmuck. I like "Jinxed". A lot better than the crap out there today. Men in dresses ?!?!?!?!?! Please.

[7beers]

This guy was so bad that I couldn't watch the whole thing. So tell me someone: does she discuss Ken Wahl?

[7beers]

I don't think I've ever heard an interviewer be so rude to his subject. She should have walked off.

[madonalove7845]

ENtourage get yo stuff! we're going now! we've had it! LOL so funny

[BrandonHallShow]

Screw Gene Shalit... what gives him the right to insult anyone? Does he own a mirror? How dare he insult Bette right to her face. She handled it well though.

[EmoDeathStar121]

Please Jinxed isint that bad to be honest but it has the fealing of more of and epasoide of somthing

[wonderlandforever]

Miss Midler deserves more respect than what the interviewer gave her!

>:(

I Love Miss Midler!!! ^_^

[wonderlandforever]

Man, I LOVED THAT MOVIE! Jinxed was fabulous! I saw it when I got the dvd! Bette Midler was great in that movie! She deserves more respect than what the interviewer gave her! How come people did't like??? Someone please tell me why!

[lori4him2]

Gene Shallot is a complete and total asswhole!?!?!

He's just jealous that he's not her...He couldn't even do her in drag!!!

She is of course...The Divine Miss M!!!!

[mullally67]

ok..i say everyone who loves Bette should hunt that interviewer down and punch him in the face!!!..Bette is amazing and even though i haven't seen it,Jinxed looks really cute and funny.and even if it's not that great Bette's right her name is above the title thats all that matters to me :D

i love ya Bette!

[TheOwlBerlin]

I will agree that this is one of her best interviews....although on the other hand, she always manages to surprise her audience one way or the other when she speaks about her life or her future plans.

[Gilmore1316]

That guy scares me. lol

[Alvin4NY]

What an ass Gene was, is. He's lucky Bette didn't haul off and slug him.

[barbrbette63]

That was GREAT !!! Thank You !

[aussieboy1982]

HAHA this i sawesome, the best Bette interview ive seen lol

[aliciastef]

Great post, it was a great movie !!! But, she rocked in The Rose !!!!

[MihaiADB]

Thank you for posting this. I absolutely love Jinxed. People are so stupid to say that about it. It's not a deep depressing movie. It's a comedy and it makes me laugh every time i watch it

[scudder99]

Bette hated it, mainly because her male co-star Ken Wahl was a complete asshole to her, and is still a complete jerk.

[MamaMidler]

Gene Shallit is such an asshole in this! He is a total ass!

[grai]

I met her at a book signing in Barnes & Noble in Sept '83 and have a picture with her which is my PRIZE possession (how gay is that)

Watching this you can see her confidence is through the floor

She has a VERY uncharacteristic insecure, nervy quality

Great to think she pulled herself out of that and now is a major legend - she said she had a bit of a breakdown around this time so its all credit to her that she had the strength as a person to rise from the ashes

She's so special

[XHayleyX08]

i LOVE Jinxed, n that guy is freaky!!, she should have hit him with the cushion in the chair actually, i wudda LOL, and when she talks about marriage its weird coz we all know that the year after she gets married, its like reading a story but reading the end first, you know what happens but you still wanna know how it came to that lol, maybe its just me, i dunno but thats how i feel LOL,

Thanks Dirk again, your an angel :o) x

[charmedluvr25]

he's an ass. HAHAHAHA! I'm surprised she didn't let him have it. prob off camera. hehehe. she's hilarious in this, but he's a douche. lol Gotta love Bette!!! Such a Lady!

[MamaMidler]

Jinxed was GREAT movie.

[KarenRoese]

Danke Dirk!!!!!

[KosmicJanis]

Nice find!! I enjoyed watching this, but was slightly disappointed she didn't talk about The Rose. She mentioned 3 movies but then was taken off course and went into something else before she could talk about that. I just love her. She was perfect to play Janis. They were/are both so real!! Peace.

[billysscreeningroom]

Bette got robbed for the Oscar for "The Rose" and, actually, (and I know I'm in the minority with this), I don't think "Jinxed" was all that terrible. Great interview. Thanks for posting.

[delagosis]

I count Jinxed as one of my fav movies!

[billysscreeningroom]

I know! Just bad press, I think.

[delagosis]

Jinxed was the first Bette Midler movie I ever saw and I loved it right away - still love it.

[ccthebrat]

you aren't the only one.. Jinxed makes me laugh... i like it... sucks some of my fav movies of hers get the "worst" press...

[billysscreeningroom]

Yeah, only "Hocus Pocus" was total crap ... everything else has been of some value, some of them totally great - like 'The Rose." Don't Shalit seem condescending here? Hell, bet has more talent than he could ever think of having.

[llfan2006]

[MosesAron]

[delagosis]
