Mary Rose Foster "The Rose"
Originally intended to be a biopic of Janis Joplin, “The Rose” stars Bette Midler as Mary Rose Foster (nicknamed the Rose) as a drug and alcohol addicted singer in the late 60’s. She is loud, brash, talented but massively insecure and Midler takes this character through a roller coaster and earned an Oscar nomination for her performance. The film also generated a hit song (also named the Rose) that played during the end credits. If people remember this film, this has a solid shot.
