Nice picture. I don´t know many of her songs, but I love the film with Jeff Bridges - I forgot it´s name right now. She plays there a university professor looking for love.

I like the cabaret Streisand; her performance at the BOn Soir night club in NYC is still one of my faves by her. I think her vocal range and comic timing is amazing for comedy. Love it!

I am not a huge fan, even though I have Just For The Record (cuz of the Bon Soir recording for starters) cuz it is a nice compilation and features most of the stuff I really like by her.

I still can't believe she cast herself as Yentl. falloff

Early Streisand is beautiful, especially her rendition of "A sleepin` bee"...

Many people talk about the nose, but she was very beautiful back then, mainly because of the nose.

I like her as an actress and singer, but as a person she seems too much the diva for my liking.

Really? I saw her on Inside the actor's studio and she seemed like a very cool person to talk with. So many incredibly interesting things to say. Of course, she will always be a DIVA. But not a bad one.

She has done the best versions of All I ask of You and Memory in my opinion!

Also my favorite song from his "Promises" from the Guilty album

She's a hot mess now, but I have to admit, she did look good in 'The Owl and the Pussycat'(with George Segal). Check out her pole dancing scene - Babs had a nice ass back in the day.

The less said about her music, the better. I understand why women like that stuff, but guys?

I was just thinking how Babs really is an Old Lady now...as in old enough to ask for the senior citizen's discount at the local restaurant lol. It is kind of hard to reconcile today's Grandmaw Babs with the 1970's Babs of perky breasts and tight behind falloff
