The Rose is a 1979 drama film based on the life of Janis Joplin. The film stars Bette Midler as the titular character, Mary Rose Foster, a self-destructive rock-and-roll singer who is struggling with addiction, the pressures of fame, and a tumultuous romantic relationship with her manager.
As her popularity grows, so do the demands of her tour schedule and the toll it takes on her mental health. Mary Rose turns to drugs and alcohol to cope, leading to increasingly erratic behavior and a decline in the quality of her performances.
Despite the efforts of her devoted fans and a sympathetic journalist, Mary Rose's self-destructive tendencies ultimately lead to a tragic end.
The Rose is known for its powerful musical performances, including the iconic title track sung by Midler. The film earned critical acclaim and several award nominations, including a Golden Globe for Midler's performance.
