Bette Midler Wants to Play Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence’s Mom

Newfound best friends (and noted Billy Joel fans) Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumerrecently announced that they are working on a screenplay together. Better yet, it’s a comedy — and the two want to play sisters. Nothing else has been announced about the project, but at least one actress is already is angling for a role: The Divine Miss M herself.

Bette Midler nominated herself for a part in Lawrence and Schumer’s movie on Twitter, writing: “Hmm, who could play their mother? She’d have to be DIVINE!”

Lawrence can count Midler as one of her biggest fans: She defended Lawrence for her First Wives Club “I beat Meryl” joke at the Golden Globes, and she’s repeatedly praised the actress’s charms on Twitter.

Jennifer Lawrence is so charming that she could run me over with her car and I’d send her a thank you note.
