While it seemed Midler was on the road to superstardom, she fell off with a series of unsuccessful albums and dubious film roles. Her film career picked up in 1986 with Down And Out In Beverly Hills, but musically she was stuck in a bland, professional rut. Then 1989's Beaches hit theaters and with it came Midler's version of "Wind Beneath My Wings," a No. 1 hit and just the thing Milder needed to get back in the ring. Always one to move quickly when the time is right, Midler put out Some People's Lives in 1990 and watched the public memory respond with immediate recall. The single "From A Distance" went to No. 1 and the album went top 10, selling well over a million copies. It just goes to show you can never count Midler out. Her latest album, perhaps an homage to her underground bathhouse days, is Bathhouse Betty.
