Bette Midler announced the death of her "The Rose" co-star Saturday, warmly remembering the man with whom she starred in her dramatic film debut over 40 years ago.
"The great and beloved Frederic Forrest has died," she tweeted. "Thank you to all of his fans and friends for all their support these last few months. He was a remarkable actor, and a brilliant human being, and I was lucky to have him in my life. He was at peace.”

He was so damn appealing in "The Rose".

For some reason I assumed he was much younger than that.

Bette Who ?

So, so, so handsome when young. And even if VALLEY GIRL was the only thing he ever did, that would be enough for me. Classic.

I always thought he had the perfect combination of a sweet face and a sexy face. He made my nether regions bloom.

Bette doesn't have co-stars. She has supporting players.

In The Rose he played the only straight man not excited by two women getting it on.

Bette says he ended at peace, especially after she promised to make sure his memoirs found a home.

Eszterhas wrote the screenplay for "Music Box" years before learning that his own father had been a virulent fascist in Hungary during WW II.

It's sad when anyone ends up needing to ask for financial help in their final years, but even those actors who manage to earn a living from acting (a small minority) don't generally end up rich.

He was must have been desperate to ask Bette Midler. She is known as the biggest tightwad in Hollywood.

He hadn't worked since 2006 so clearly something was going wrong.
