Bette Midler, Brooke Shields among ‘Murphy Brown’ guests
LOS ANGELES >> Bette Midler and Brooke Shields are among the guest stars dropping in on CBS’ “Murphy Brown” revival.
Midler was on the original sitcom as Caprice, one of many difficult, short-tenured secretaries to Candice Bergen’s Murphy.
CBS said today the singer-actress is back as Caprice on the Nov. 8 episode, this time with a connection to Murphy that makes her even more unbearable.
Shields is on the Nov. 15 episode as a former beauty-pageant pal of series star Faith Ford’s Corky who emerges from a long coma.
The episode with Midler also features Katie Couric playing herself and former “Night Court” star John Larroquette as a judge.
Peter Gallagher appears as a conservative news anchor covering elections with Murphy’s son, played by Jake McDorman, on the Nov. 1 “Murphy Brown” episode.
