Barbra Streisand Overview:
Legendary actress, Barbra Streisand, was born Barbara Joan Streisand on Apr 24, 1942 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. As of December 2023, Barbra Streisand was 81 years old.
MINI BIO:
Dark-haired (although it got lighter through the years), sexy, aggressive American singer and actress whose prominent nose and clown's smile sit well with her talent for comedy. Her larger-than-life personality and magical singing voice - all throb and passion - grabbed her an Oscar for Funny Girl. She was further nominated for The Way We Were. Her sense of throwaway comedy remains pleasing, but she can over-dominate a film and after a series of dispiriting misfires, proved in 1983 with Yentl that she was in her element when producing, directing, and starring all at once. Married/divorced actor Elliott Gould. Currently married to actor James Brolin. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:

Barbra Streisand Quotes:
Fanny Brice: "No law against waiting," I said, "people do it all the time." For once, I didn't say too much, I didn't say too little, I said just what I said and then walked.
Dolly Levi: [singing] It takes a woman to quietly plan to take him and change him to her kind of man and to gently lead him where fortune can find him and not let him know that the power behind him was that dainty woman, that fragile woman, that sweetheart, that mistress, that wife.
