| Lady Midler as Lady Macbeth? |
I don’t know, what do people think? I’m trying to think of her most memorable roles, and I keep coming up with comedy. Could she handle one of the great tragedies? Or do we see her more in a comic role? What I don’t see her in is any sort of supporting role. Whatever she does, it seems that she’s got to be front and center.
Just as Robin Williams proved he could serious roles, Bette Midler would be wonderful as Lady Macbeth. Remember: The Rose. Serious role. And Midler was phenomenal.
