Guest lurkerspeaks Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Thanks for the great article. I think Babs was the reason I became a homosexual. I remember being a small child of 8 or so, and being taken by my father and stepmother to see the movie version of Funny Girl. I was instantly in love with Barbra Streisand. From there, I saw Hello Dolly, and each and every new movie she came out with. I was the only teenage boy I knew who had Barbra posters and album covers on his walls.

Guest hitoallusa Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I watched Funny Girl when I was a kid and I didn't understand the movie but I thought Barbara was an interesting actress. Congrats on your 50th anniversary in the showbusiness and many more to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RA1 Posted March 23, 2012 Members Share Posted March 23, 2012 I saw Funny Girl, the movie, with my older sister when it was first run and enjoyed it immensely. While I do not always agree with MS. Streisand's politics, I always enjoy her voice, her performances and her "moxie".

Guest EXPAT Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 That's interesting on your not always agreeing with her politics. She is obviously very liberal and I have never heard anything that I didn't agree with frankly. But I do know Republicans can't stand her. But I find her views to be spot on all the time. I am so glad I got to see her at Staple's Center in 2008. I had 7th row floor seats and it was truly a magical evening that I will never ever forget.

Members RA1 Posted March 23, 2012 Members Share Posted March 23, 2012 Personalities are always interesting and BS's is certainly so. I do not claim to be a R but a Libertarian. Your personality is interesting and so is hers but, sorry, I do not necessarily agree with your or her politics. We can still share "stuff".
