Barbra Streisand is an American singer, actor, producer, director and screenwriter.
Streisand's career began in the early 1960s performing in nightclubs and Broadway theaters. Following her established recording success, Streisand ventured into film by the end of the 1960s. She starred in the critically acclaimed Funny Girl (1968), winning the Academy Award for Best Actress at the 41st Academy Awards. Additional fame on the big screen followed with the extravagant musical Hello, Dolly! (1969), the screwball comedy What's Up, Doc? (1972), and the romantic drama The Way We Were (1973). With the release of Yentl (1983), Streisand became the first woman to write, produce, direct, and star in a major studio film.Kagan, Jeremy.
