On this day, December 21, 1988, the emotional drama Beaches premiered in theaters, starring Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey. The film tells the story of a lifelong friendship between two women and is beloved for its heartfelt exploration of love, loss, and resilience.

The movie’s theme song, “Wind Beneath My Wings”, performed by Bette Midler, became a massive hit, reaching #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on June 10, 1989, where it stayed for one week. The song also earned a Grammy Award for Record of the Year and has since become an enduring classic.
