Barbra Streisand has always been a role model to me. She is an independent woman who fought her way into the music business. She had people who didn’t like this strong, confident woman. But many of us thought she was terrific and still do. She was a woman who knew what she wanted but she wasn’t a classic Hollywood beauty. She was Jewish and her nose was bigger many movie producers and record companies thought she wasn’t pretty enough for the entertainment industry. She never hid who she was, she just sang like a nightingale and acted with great talent. She has been a mother and is now once again a wife. She is married to James Brolin. She has always been private yet not hiding who she was and wanted she wanted to accomplish. Then she accomplished it with style and dignity.

She is the best!!! No one like her …. Out of this world!
I agree with everything you said . Nobody could ever out sing her in my opinion.
I love Barbara, she was blessed with amazing talent. I love her emotion and passion for her art.
Oh yes indeed. But they didn’t make it easy for her. I admire her strength and independence. Hugs, Barbara
No at times Hollywood was darn right cruel.
Yes, she took a lot from bigoted people and made them eat their words. I hope you enjoy the videos. Hugs, Barbara
And she gets bashed to this day for being too much of a liberal…what’s not to like?
For me absolutely nothing. I think she is wonderful. Hugs, Barbara
Hugs back!
She has been one of my heroes. Always her own woman!
Yes. She is a strong woman. A pioneer in every sense. Hugs, Barbara
She is truly one of a kind! Thanks for this beautiful tribute to her work 🙂
