Rose, a rock star, wants to leave the music industry. After a long tour, she's completely exhausted, but her manager refuses to listen. The story is loosely based on the life of Janis Joplin. Bette Midler brilliantly showcased all her talents in the title role. She received a Golden Globe for her performance and was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Actress category.
