An outstanding personality in a show is celebrating his birthday.
One of the biggest names among actors and singers turns 82 today. Barbra Streisand was born on April 24, 1942 in New York.
Barbara is a singer, theater and film actress, composer, film producer, director and winner of two “Oscar” awards – for “Best Actress” and for “Most Original Song”.
She is one of the few artists to have won all four of the most prestigious awards: Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Tony. In 2001, she retired from musical performances, and since 1996 she has only appeared in three films. He fills his free time with interior design activities.
A curious fact is that Streisand has the most number of gold albums, namely 52 among women and is second of all recording artists after Elvis Presley.
Her autobiographical book titled “My Name is Barbara” was released in 2023. After a long break, Streisand returned to the cinema two years ago, starring in the comedy “Meet the Fockers”. She took on the role of the slightly strange mother.
“I arrived in Hollywood without new teeth, a new nose and without changing my face. I’m honored,” Barbara likes to say.
Curiously, Barbara is a maniacal perfectionist, a control freak and suffering from severe stage fright. You might not know, but despite the many awards she’s won as a singer, Streisand actually hates singing.
Barbra married twice. Her first husband was actor Elliott Gould. They have one son, Jason. Streisand and Gould were married in 1963 and divorced in 1971. Her second husband was actor James Brolin, whom they have been married to since 1997. They have no children.
In the early 1990s, Barbra Streisand dated legendary tennis player Andre Agassi. At that time, she was 28 years older than him.
This is what Andre Agassi wrote in his book: “Public outrage only added to the fire of our relationship. Our friendship was mysterious.
It was a taboo that fit into my rebellious nature. “Dating Barbra Streisand was like wearing hot pink.”
