About This Item
In an Oscar-nominated performance, Bette Midler portrays a rock star whose success is laced with so much booze, drugs and hard-living it eventually causes her downfall. Trapped in a self-created hell, Rose begs her manager (Alan Bates) for time off from her concert tour. When he refuses, she seeks comfort and love in the arms of a handsome drifter (Frederic Forrest), but even he cannot handle her life of excess. Electrifying musical numbers, including the hit song InchThe RoseInch make the film a pop culture classic.
