Outrageous Fortune is a 1987 American comedy film written by Leslie Dixon, directed by Arthur Hiller and starring Shelley Long and Bette Midler. The title is taken from Shakespeare's Hamlet. It is the tenth film of Touchstone Pictures.

Production

Shelley Long was the first to sign, with her contract guaranteed top billing, but before Midler would sign, Long had to agree to share top billing. During production, Midler's and Long's names were alternated on press releases sent out. When Midler's name appeared first in a release, the next press document sent out had to mention Long's first. Midler received top billing on release prints east of the Mississippi River.

This agreement extended through the original LaserDisc and VHS release of the title, with discs shipped to retailers in the west featuring Shelley Long and retailers on the east receiving discs featuring Bette Midler.

On an episode of Oprah, Midler remarked that working with Long was "rough," echoing similar sentiments amongst Long's bosses on her hit TV series Cheers.

Suzanne Somers has said that Michael Eisner offered her a three-movie deal with Disney which included Outrageous Fortune, but she turned it down. She would have played Bette Midler's part.
