Midler Joins “The Women” Remake
Bette Midler, Carrie Fisher, Lynn Whitfield, Joanna Gleason, Ana Gasteyer, and Debi Mazar have joined “The Women,” the Diane English-directed remake of the 1939 screen comedy. The movie is currently shooting in Boston.
They are part of a cast that includes Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Candice Bergen, who play friends and who discover the pal they envied most is being cheated on by her husband. As in the George Cukor-directed original, English’s film has an all-female cast.
