Truly Trivial
The story goes that Stockard Channing replaced Bette Midler in this film after The Divine Miss M asked its director "What other movies have you done?"
So I take it that Mike Nichols was so insulted that Bette didn't know that he directed the Graduate amongst other films that he replaced her...right?
hmm - in the trivia section it says this:
Stockard Channing replaced Bette Midler who declined the role after asking Mike Nichols "What other movies have you done?". Cher also met Nichols to discuss the role but she was turned down.
This makes no sense - why would you turn down a film from the director of the Graduate and Catch 22? share
