"I was more than averse [to letting her go into acting]," Midler said of her daughter's aspirations to be an actress. "I was frightened for her, and she was just a little girl. I made a terrible mistake by saying, ‘If you go into show business, I’ll kill you.’ And she took it very much to heart. She’s brilliant. She’s great. She’s the love of my life."
