In a candid revelation on the Fail Better<\/a><\/em><\/strong> podcast hosted by David Duchovny<\/a><\/strong>, Bette Midler<\/a><\/strong> reflected on her 2000 sitcom Bette<\/strong><\/em>, describing it as a compendium of missteps. The show, which draws from Midler’s own life, quickly became a learning curve for the celebrated actor.<\/p>\n

A pivotal moment came with Lindsay Lohan<\/a><\/strong>, who was cast as Midler’s daughter in the show’s pilot. Despite the successful collaboration during the pilot episode, Lohan departed from the series, a move that Midler believes contributed to the sitcom\u2019s downfall. At that juncture, Lohan’s career was on the ascent, following her breakout role in Parent Trap<\/em>, with hits like Freaky Friday<\/em> and Mean Girls<\/em> on the horizon.<\/p>\n
