Nominated
Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role - Bette Midler
 
 
 

For the Boys


Midler stars as Dixie Leonard, a gutsy singer-comedian who hooks up with Eddie Sparks (Caan) to become one of America's favorite USO singing, dancing, and comedy teams. The movie spans 50 years and three wars--including Korea and Vietnam--and raises such issues as the blacklist and the role of politics in showbiz. Glitzy Hollywood entertainment falters despite Midler's strong performance.
