Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand is an American actress and singer, winner of two Oscars and other awards, including a Grammy, Emmy, and Golden Globe. Streisand achieved fame as a singer. To date, she has released 35 studio albums, each of which, at the end of the year, was included in the list of the best discs in the opinion of the most authoritative publication on musical topics "Billboard". What's more, Barbra Streisand is the only musician to have topped the charts in every decade since the 60s.

The future star of the scene was born in the New York borough of Brooklyn in the family of grammar teacher Emanuel Streisand and secretary Diana Rosen. Unfortunately, a year later, Barbra's father died, and with her stepfather, Lius Kind, she had a disgusting relationship, as he raised his hand to her. In the new family, the mother gave birth to her second daughter Roslyn Kind, who also performs on stage.

Streisand rarely appeared at school, as she spent a lot of time in the local choir, which was attended with her by another legendary American performer Neil Diamond and future world-class grandmaster Bobby Fischer. And the girl's classmate was the now famous actor Dustin Hoffman.

Streisand's relationships with peers did not develop well: they offended the baby because of her appearance.

When the matured Barbra told her mother that she intended to pursue a career as an actress, she was indignant, because she considered her daughter unattractive, and empty attempts to succeed on the stage was a stupid waste of time.

Despite the lack of support and faith of relatives in the strength of the future celebrity, Streisand developed a strong and willful character from an early age. Once she announced that she would become famous and sing for the President of the United States.

The girl did not give up. She participated in vocal competitions and passed one casting after another. After winning the mini-show, Streisand was hired as a singer in a nightclub. Then she performed at a gay bar in Manhattan's Greenwich Village.

Gaining experience, Barbra managed to get a role on Broadway in the musical "I'll Get It For You Wholesale", which eventually became the starting point of the girl's success. The fact is that here Barbra with an unusual appearance was noticed by scriptwriter Jul Stein and specially for her he wrote the plot of a musical comedy.

Barbra Streisand made her film debut with the funny comedy Funny Girl, which immediately brought her world fame and first prize at the Oscar ceremony. Subsequent works also became musical and humorous - "Hello, Dolly!", "On a clear day, you will see eternity" and "Owl and cat". The last of them became the first film in the history of America, in which the main character uses profanity - from the mouth of Barbra, the audience heard the word "fuck".

Then Barbra appeared in Sydney Pollack's melodrama "Two Hearts Meeting." As a result, Streisand's main composition of The Way We Were received the highest Academy Award.

Streisand received the second Oscar statuette as a composer for the song “Evergreen”, which she performed in the musical “A Star is Born”. Until 1980, literally all of the actress's films were in the top ten highest-grossing films of the year. In the 80s, she decided to both act in films and act as a director herself. The legendary Steven Spielberg called the melodrama "Yentl" a masterpiece of cinema, and the love story "Lord of the Tides" was nominated for an Oscar in seven categories at once.

After the romantic comedy "The Mirror Has Two Faces" Streisand left the screens for a long time. In the tape, she played the main female role and acted as the director of the project. For the first time, Barbra directed the picture "Yentl" back in 1983 and was awarded the Golden Globe for her debut in this field.

Barbra returned to cinema only in 2004, starring with Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro in the family comedy film Meet the Fockers. In 2010, the second part of the picture came out. But the sequel to the tape was received negatively by critics, and Barbra received a nomination for the Golden Raspberry Award.

The last project in the filmography of the famous actress today is a duet work with Seth Rogen in the next comedy film "The Curse of My Mother". The Paramount Studios were confident that Streisand would receive a Golden Globe for the role. Just before the results were announced, the marketing department sent a message that she won. However, the information had to be immediately removed, because Streisand was not even on the list of nominees.

In parallel with his film career, the musical biography of Barbra Streisand flourished. The artist's debut studio recording "The Barbra Streisand Album" was a huge success and won two Grammy awards. The singer recorded her first few albums in the Broadway style, but since 1969 pop songs have appeared in her repertoire.

Slaters "The Way We Were", "Evergreen", "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" and "Woman in Love" became classic hits and are still popular today. One of the music critics said that the 60s and 70s were marked by Barbra Streisand, who eclipsed even Frank Sinatra in terms of the quality of music and the level of vocals.

Clips have been filmed for many of Barbra's compositions. These included: "Woman in Love", "Left In The Dark", "Emotion" and others.

The singer several times announced the termination of her vocal career, but after a short pause, she resumed performances and organized large-scale tours. The singer also works a lot in duets. Worth noting is the song "I Finally Found Someone", sung with Brian Adams, and "Tell Him", recorded with Celine Dion. The latest albums "Partners" and "Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway" are composed of duet compositions.

In her youth, Barbra did not manage to arrange a personal life. Young people did not pay attention to the "ugly duckling". But everything changed when the girl achieved fame in Hollywood.

The first time Barbra Streisand married in 1963, the American actor Elliott Gould. They did not live together for long, although they gave birth to a son, Jason. The divorce was officially formalized in 1971, but by this time each of the spouses was living their own lives. The singer met with Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.

Later, she had a relationship with producer John Peters, and throughout the 90s, Barbra was in a romantic relationship with the famous tennis player Andre Agassi, who is 28 years younger than the woman. In addition, the artist had an affair with the legendary Elvis Presley.

The second official husband of Streisand was actor James Brolin, with whom they still live together. He managed to find an approach to the most extravagant lady in Hollywood, as a result of which the woman became an exemplary wife.

Barbra has two best friends: fashion designer Donna Karan and actress and writer Shirley MacLaine. Interestingly, Streisand's birthdays coincide with the last of them, so they organize the celebration together and over the years have never broken this tradition.

By the way, Barbra's childhood dream to sing for the US President has come true. On the day when Bill Clinton turned 49, she called the head of state's apartment and demanded that to the phone, saying that she wanted to congratulate the head on the holiday. When Clinton answered the phone, Barbra sang to him: "Happy birthday to you!"

Barbra sits on the side of the US Democratic Party. She has also repeatedly advocated the rights of women and people with non-traditional sexual orientation. Streisand even set up the Streisand Foundation, which has donated $ 7.5 million in environmental protection, AIDS research and human rights activities.

Barbra's own son married a fashion model David Knight. The couple arranged a loud and lavish celebration. Streisand did not come to the ceremony, but just after that she began to speak on the side of sexual minorities.

While many stars of Barbra's age ignore social media, Streisand is not one. She uses an account on Instagram, where she uploads personal photos, videos, frames from films. There, on April 4, the celebrity congratulated Alec Baldwin on his birthday.

The artist also maintains an official microblogging on Twitter.

Rumor has it that in 2018 Barbra will appear on The Politician. And the actress's colleagues will be Ben Platt and Gwyneth Paltrow.

In February 2018, the press reported that Barbra Streisand cloned her beloved dog Samantha, who died in 2017. For this, the genetic material of the animal was used. On her personal website, the artist confirmed this fact, but made a couple of amendments to the headlines of journalists.
