Billy Crystal and Bette Midler Interview
Billy Crystal and Bette Midler have a lot in common. They both have big personalities, and they like to make people laugh. But more than anything else, they love being parents. The two team up in Parental Guidance, a touching comedy in which they play a couple called in to babysit their three grandchildren for a week while their daughter and son-in-law (Marisa Tomei and Tom Everett Scott) go on a business trip.
Although the film is not exactly a documentary, it grew out of an experience Crystal and his wife had years ago.
Tribute.ca spoke with Billy and Bette in Los Angeles about their amazing chemistry and whether Bette has figured out how she is going to incorporate Billy into her stage act.
