'No actor doesn't like to chew the scenery, even if they don't admit it,' Bette Midler tells Newsweek about her character in 'The Fabulous Four.'
'No actor doesn't like to chew the scenery, even if they don't admit it.' If you ask Bette Midler how she got her part in the new film The Fabulous Four, it wouldn't have anything to do with her legendary status as a performer, or that she's an Oscar-nominated actor. 'I think they needed a ham, a big ole ham. So, I got that part.
How does it feel to be called upon to be the ham, if you will?I'm really lucky, because no actor doesn't like to chew the scenery, even if they don't admit it. So to pull out all the stops, to they have the permission to pull out all the stops is always great. The wheels start turning right around. 'Oh, I could do this. Oh, I could do that.' It's great. And I want to say one thing about being reserved and then being retiring, sometimes I feel like I made up a character.
