Short description
Rock-and-roll singer Mary Rose Foster's romantic relationships and mental health are continuously imperilled by the demands of life on the road.
What's left behind the scenes
- Initially, a biographical film about Janis Joplin (1943-1970) was planned, titled "Pearl" (Joplin received this nickname after the release of her fourth studio album in 1971, after her death). The script was shown to Bette Midler, but she decided that not enough time had passed since the singer's death to portray her life on screen. The script was rewritten with Midler's help; some scenes were removed altogether, while others were revised. The rewritten script was titled "Rose," and Midler agreed to play the lead role.
- Mark Rydell agreed to direct only if Bette Midler would play the lead role. Until that point, she was known as a nightclub singer and had only appeared in televised comedic performances.
