As in Funny Girl, she belted out her best number in Yentl on a boat. Rabbi Menasseh Ben Israel was not a consultant on Yentl, but he wrote about this subject at length in The Conciliator in 1632.ģ6. A later jokey (flirty?) argument between the two over the words Adam’s “rib” or Adam’s “side” has relevance to the film’s gender-fluid premise, but actually represents a true theological conundrum that has perplexed scholars for centuries. “I’ll state the premise, you dispute it.” How does one swoon from right to left?ģ5. In Yentl, she and Mandy Patinkin engage in the most Jewish form of pillow talk in the history of cinema: by selecting a passage from the Talmud and arguing about it. She endured obnoxious criticism concerning her brilliant direction of Yentl-even from the story’s author, the great Isaac Bashevis Singer.ģ4. She brought us a chrysalis-emerging independent woman with luxuriant Ashkenazic hair with Amy Irving in Yentl.ģ3. She brought us a shirtless and wet Mandy Patinkin when she made Yentl.ģ2.
It was her first of five specials for the network, and it won Streisand her first Emmy.ģ1. On April 28, 1965, she went on CBS Television to declare that her name was Barbra. A foundational element of 20th-century culture.Ģ6. Funny Girl included “ People,” her first major hit song.
After recording The Second Barbra Streisand Album and, yes, The Third Album with some of the same team, she conquered Broadway (and the West End) in Funny Girl, the role she was born to play (even if Mary Martin, Anne Bancroft, Eydie Gormé, and Carol Burnett were all considered first).Ģ5. (She nixed Sweet and Saucy Streisand as the title.) It debuted at number eight on the Billboard chart, won album of the year at the Grammys (beating The Singing Nun!), and went platinum in three years.Ģ4. In 1963 she teamed with arranger Peter Matz and producer Mike Berniker to release *The Barbra Streisand Album-*her first of 36 studio albums, for which she was given an unusual amount of creative control when choosing her material. Considering who his parents are, it’s no surprise that it’s actually really good!Ģ3. But some 52 years after that first meeting, Barbra recorded a version of Irving Berlin’s “How Deep Is the Ocean?” with Jason Gould, her only child. She’s got two Oscars, eight Grammys, four Emmys, one honorary Tony (she’s the second EGOT, by the way, winning in the shortest span), eight Golden Globes, three Peabodys, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and honorary doctorates from Brandeis University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Jimmy Fallon did the same, but a little more subtly, by asking Barbra to sit behind his desk. Every time.) She even rearranged Rosie O’Donnell’s set to ensure she’d be turned to her right while schmoozing.ġ6. (If you didn’t know this before, you’ll notice it now.
She does, however, reportedly prefer to be photographed from the left side. She has also suggested that the surgery could have altered her singing voice.ġ5. “I don’t even have pierced ears,” she told Oprah Winfrey. “I thought my nose went with my face, ya know, it's all rather odd,” she told Barbara Walters. Entering show business, she was advised to get a nose job, which she refused to do. This makes no sense when you read it, but if you imagine her saying it, it is, of course, perfect.ġ4. She removed an “a” from her given name, Barbara, because “I hated the name, but I refused to change it,” as she put it in 1963.
