McNichols Bet. Woodward & Second 66 FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1987 She was a Jewish kid from Honolulu with a volcanic mouth. But like any active volcano that spouts off and draws attention, flame-haired Bette Midler, the Divine Miss M, sparks where others spritz. The outrageous performer, who started out her profes- sional cabaret act as a singer in a gay bathhouse, is awash with fortune these days. She is co-star in the successful flick Outrageous Fortune. "I could always work for myself," says an independent Midler, the 42-year-old earth mother who recently gave birth to a Divine Miss S, Sophie. (No, says Midler, she and her husband, perform- ance artist/commodities trader Harry Kipper, didn't name the kid after idol Sophie Tucker. That's just a coincidence, she says.) "You should always become independent; you should al- ways try to work at a little something that you can take out on the road. Because that is something to fall back on." If Midler is to fall, she can afford plenty of cushions to soften the blow. She just signed a three-part film deal with the Disney Studio, whose Touchstone Pictures is responsible for her Outrage- ous Fortune as well as Ruth- less People and Down and Out in Beverly Hills.

Sparkles, Accelerating Cinema Success 868-7550 Midler down and out? No way. But, says the vivacious performer, geting to life's sweet fruit occasionally means nipping at the bitter. "You learn that it's not all peaches and cream," she says, "and you learn to roll with the punches, not to take it too personally, to get up on your feet and keep going. The main thing is perseverance." She means what she says. After leaving her native Honolulu 22 years ago, Mi- dler showed she meant busi- ness to the show business world. Within a relatively short period of time, she had snared the role of Tzeitel in the Broadway production of Fiddler on the Roof. She scratched a seven-year performer's itch with a Grammy Award, capturing the 1972 prize for her album, The Divine Miss M. Six years later, she captured an Academy Award nomination for The Rose. Life has blossomed since. Three hit films in a row have made producers aware that the woman once dubbed as "Trash With Flash" is no Bette Midler appears with George Carlin in a scene from "Outrageous Fortune." longer a flash in the pan. Pan? It is a word that doesn't exist in a career heaped with praise. Despite the image of a wild woman with enough energy to wipe out Philadelphia Electric — an image seem- ingly toned down since film fame and motherhood — there is a very definite seri- ous side to Midler. One has only to read her A View From a Broad, a perceptive and an alternately raucous and sensitive book, to gain some true insights. Like about her trip to West Germany, where the Jewish entertainer felt some strains from the past creep into the present. "Did I really believe that bygones should be bygones?" she explained. The serious side is no reve- lation for those close to Mi- dler. "Offstage," Midler has said, "I am basically a seri- ous, sentimental, frequently maudlin person — the com- plete opposite of the wild, zany hedonist I play on stage. I'm really two people, a schizoid personality. "Look at me, I wear glas- ses. I look like a librarian and behave like a school- teacher, which is even worse." She seems to be behaving herself more these days — but then fame does have its responsibilities. After all, there has been so much — innumerable club perform- ances, stints on Broadway, records — and now film. Midler seems to be well on her way to meeting her goal, as stated to her manager in 1972. Her goal? That of legend. Reflecting On Jewish Roles In Movieland Five Hollywood figures explored their Jewish identity — or lack of it — and how it affects their craft. TOM TUGEND Special to The Jewish News L os Angeles — "Sure, there's anti-Semitism," said one panelist, r"but most of us avoid it by being in a business where we're sur- rounded by Jews." The business is making Hollywood films, and five of its more successful practi- tioners got together at a cam- pus forum to explore their Jewish identity, or lack of it, and how it affects their craft. Met at UCLA Hillel were actor Richard Dreyfuss ("Jaws," "Close Encounters," "Down and Out in Beverly Hills"); actor Henry Winkler, who raised a whole TV gener- ation as the Fonz in "Happy Days"; director-actor Paul Mazursky ("Harry and rIbn- to," "Moscow on the Hudson," "Down and Out in Beverly Hills"); and producer Irwin Winkler ("Rocky I, II and III," " 'Round Midnight"). The moderator was Jeremy Kagan, a rabbi's son and director-writer of "The Big Fix" and "The Chosen:' A casting director could hardly have done a better job
