PEOPLE spoke with Midler at the awards and she wasfull of praise for her lookalike daughterSophie von Haselberg’s new film role.
Asked whether she gave the 36-year-old any advice when she first became an actress, Midler told PEOPLE on the red carpet, “No, I didn’t give her any advice, but I have to say she was in this movie. It just opened, calledGive Me Pity!, and she plays a ’70s performer who’s doing a special — you remember the specials?”

According to Midler, her daughter is “fantastic” in the film. “And she’s wearing clothes that I would’ve worn,” she continued. “I just said, ‘Sophie, can I have that wardrobe?’ It was great.”
When asked if it’s tough to watch her daughter navigate a challenging business and follow in her footsteps, Midler said it’s somewhere in the middle.
“It is and it isn’t. I think that life is challenging for everybody,” she explained. “It doesn’t matter if you’re in the business or if you’re in a different arena. It’s so hard. It’s very different. The last five years have been very challenging for everybody.”
