Bette Midler obviously a big boned woman


And nothing wrong with it, but even in some of her other movies where she was real skinny, you could tell that her body size was a bit bigger than average.

I like cats named nightmare. I have a "nightmare" every night!

Yeah, she is but she is infinitely more attractive (and pleasant) than Horse Face. Morty was nuts.

She has an apple-shaped body. Broad shoulders and back, big breasts, carries weight in belly and upper arms and flat butt, skinny legs. A very common and unfortunate body shape of women.

She's actually a tiny little woman, but one with proportions that aren't camera-friendly.

She's very short, 5'1", with a top-heavy build, broad shoulders, big bust, and no waist at all. She was a bit plump when she first hit the big time in the 1970s, and then she lost a lot of weight when she became an actress instead of a singer, but everyone still thought of her as chunky. She must have weighed about 100 pounds during the 1980s and 1990s when her film career was at its peak, but because she had no neck and no waist, she still looked chunky on camera. That must have pissed her off!
