Bette Midler To Participate In Academy's 30th Anniversary Celebration Of "The Rose" 9/25
Oscar®-nominated actress Bette Midler and director Mark Rydell will participate in an onstage discussion following the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' 30th anniversary screening of "The Rose" on Friday, September 25, at 7:30 p.m. at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
"The Rose" follows singer Mary Rose Foster through the highs and lows of her final tour and features several electrifying musical performances.

"The Rose" also received nominations for Actor in a Supporting Role (Frederic Forrest), Film Editing (Robert L. Wolfe, C. Timothy O'Meara), and Sound (Theodore Soderberg, Douglas O. Williams, Paul Wells, Jim Webb).

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The Samuel Goldwyn Theater is located at 8949 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills. All seating is unreserved.
