STREISAND, BARBRA 1942-
Singer, actress
Funny Girl
Barbra Streisand first came to the attention of audiences and critics with a small role in I Can Get It for You Wholesale (1962), her first Broadway role, in which she stopped the show. In her second, as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl (1964), she was the show. The musical was critically acclaimed primarily for the presence of this young singer and comedian from Brooklyn, and it ran for a total of 1,348 performances.
If You Ain't Got Elegance
A star was born: Streisand recorded three albums in 1963 and 1964 and made several television appearances in addition to her stage work. She took the role of Fanny Brice to the London production of the musical and to the screen in the 1968 film version. Not only was the movie very popular, but it also earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress, making her the first to win that award for a first film. She also starred in the 1969 film version of Hello, Dolly!
Stage Fright
Though hugely popular, she retired from stage performances in 1968 due to extreme stage fright, focusing instead on films and recordings. She re-turned to live performances in 1994.
