Beaches Reunion: Midler & Hershey Meet After 38 Years

Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey, who starred as C.C. Bloom and Hillary Whitney in the 1988 film 'Beaches,' have reunited 38 years after the movie's premiere. Midler, 80, shared a photo with her 78-year-old co-star on Instagram, celebrating their enduring bond. The tearjerker, directed by Garry Marshall, depicted the lifelong friendship between a singer and an heiress, earning Midler two Grammy Awards for the iconic song 'Wind Beneath My Wings'.

Midler has previously expressed a desire to revisit her character, C.C. Bloom, in a potential sequel, envisioning a story that reflects their advanced age. She also recently urged Disney to expedite the script for 'Hocus Pocus 3,' emphasizing the urgency for the original cast to film the sequel. Midler's recent acting role was in 'The Fabulous Four,' where she played a character described as a 'big ole ham' and the film's main conflict.
