The sentiment echoed by Brunson resonated with Walter and Perfetti, who shared in the excitement of the prospect. The idea of collaborating with such an esteemed figure in the entertainment industry was not lost on them, as they recognized the significance of Midler's potential involvement.

When Lisa Ann Walter thought about Bette Midler perhaps appearing on the set of Abbott Elementary, she was overcome with respect for the legendary actress. Walter was excited, but she also modestly acknowledged that she wasn't in charge of that division. She made it clear that, in addition to stars like Whoopi Goldberg, Barbra Streisand, Dolly Parton, Goldie Hawn, and Lily Tomlin, Midler has a unique position in the pantheon of Hollywood giants.

Walter praised Midler's abilities as an actress, pointing out that she was both flexible and subtle. "She's not just like a balls out, you know, broad, which, she's that too," Walter said, comparing Midler to Melissa Schemmenti, her fictional character. "She's also a really talented, nuanced actress."
