Academy Award winner Julia Roberts is a spirited, streetwise diamond in the rough when she meets a no-nonsense billionaire played by Golden Globe winner Richard Gere. It's a chance encounter that turns a weeklong business arrangement into a timeless rags-to-riches romance.Synopsis - Beaches (1988) In this powerful portrait of a lifelong friendship, brassy C.C. Bloom (Bette Midler) and classy Hillary Witney (Barbara Hershey) share their ups and downs, from good times to bad, through broken marriages and budding careers.
