Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. *Note* Due to a lot of misreading, please read the answers carefully before choosing. What was the name of the character Bette Midler played?

Answer: Cecilia 'CC' Carol Bloom

Some of Bette's movies are: "Hocus Pocus", "That Old Feeling", "The First Wives Club" and one more recently, "Drowning Mona". Bette's character, CC Bloom, was strong, outspoken, and independant. She bullied everyone in her spoiled brat way, including her mother, Leona.
2. Who did Barbara Hershey play?

Answer: Hillary Whitney

Barbara's most recent work is a made for tv movie called
"Hunger Point" that aired on Lifetime. Her character, Hillary Whitney was prissy, nearly the exact opposite of her best friend CC. She was the most supportive out of the two and supported CC throughout her career and life.
3. Bette and Barbara's characters were best friends since they were babies?

Answer: False

They met on the beach when they were 11 years old, and they kept writing until they met again after college, when Hillary left her family and old lawyer life. This movie starts at the beach, and ends there as well, thus probably the reason it is called "Beaches".
4. Who directed the movie?

Answer: Garry Marshall

Some of Garry Marshall's famous movies he directed are "Pretty Woman", "Runaway Bride", "Frankie and Johnny" and "The Princess Diaries".
5. Bette's character was married twice in the movie?

Answer: False

CC got married once to the director, John Pierce, who helped make her famous. CC became infamous for her attitude,and breaking a director's jaw by punching him. She quit acting and was engaged to Hillary's doctor, whom CC left before marrying because her ex-husband asked her back to star in another one of his plays.
6. What was the name of Bette's mother in the movie?

Answer: Leona Bloom

Leona was a big stage mom. CC bossed her mother around until 21 when her mother moved to Florida. Leona tells CC after she leaves John that she loves her but just couldn't pay any more attention to her.
7. What did Barbara's character do when she found her husband cheating?

Answer: She went back to her best friend

CC and Hillary had stopped talking after Hillary's visit to New York. Hillary found out CC was performing in San Fransisco and went to the club to try to amend their friendship. That's when CC and the movie watchers find out Hillary is expecting and CC moves to Hillary's house to help out with the coming baby.
8. Bette's character moved back to New York before her best friend had the baby, why did she?

Answer: Her ex-husband asked her back for an acting job

After CC got a part at her ex-husbands theater, her career took off once again, this time with singing.
9. At the beginning of the movie Bette's character left her concert before it started. Why?

Answer: Her best friend was dying

She left when she got word of Hillary being near death at the hospital and left before the concert. The concert did get rained out that night anyhow.
10. What mode of transportation did she use to get back to her friend?

Answer: A rental car

There were no planes flying to San Fransisco at the time due to fog so her impatience and need to get there got her to drive all night there by rental car. That's how the movie starts, her memories while driving takes us back through their whole history together. I always cry at the end every time.
