Question: who played the young bette midler in the movie beaches
Answer: Bialik started her career as a child actress in the late 1980s. Her early roles included the horror film Pumpkinhead ( 1988 ), her first acting job, and guest appearances on The Facts of Life and Beauty and the Beast. In 1988 - 1989, she had a recurring role on the TV comedy Webster playing Frieda, Webster 's classmate, in 8 episodes. It was for her Beauty and the Beast work, in which she played a sewer - dwelling girl named Ellie who had about 10 lines of dialogue, that Bialik obtained her Screen Actors Guild ( SAG ) card. She appeared in three episodes of MacGyver as Lisa Woodman. She appeared in Beaches ( 1988 ), playing Bette Midler 's character as a young girl. She also appeared in the video for the song `` Liberian Girl '' by Michael Jackson. In 1990, Bialik was tied to two television pilots, Fox 's Molloy and NBC 's Blossom. Molloy at first produced six episodes for a tryout run, followed by the shooting of the pilot special for Blossom.
