STREISAND
Barbra Streisand has earned awards for her stage work, television specials, acting in films, recordings and directing motion pictures. She remains the highest selling female recording artist of all-time.
Born in 1942, her father died when the young Streisand was only 15 months old. Her family struggled financially. She imagined herself an actress. Without having any singing lessons, the ambitious young Streisand began performing in clubs.
In 1962, she made her Broadway debut in "I Can Get it For You Wholesale". Columbia signed her soon after. As her first recordings were issued, Streisand began appearing on the Broadway stage in "Funny Girl".
Her 1965 TV special was showered with Emmy Awards. In 1968, she reprised her role as Fanny Brice in the screen version of 'Funny Girl', for which she was rewarded with a Best Actress Oscar.
More successful records and box office hits followed, including: 'The Way We Were', 'What's Up Doc?' and 'A Star Is Born' in the following year. She reached #1 with the singles "The Way We Were", "Evergreen", "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" (a duet with Neil Diamond), "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" (with Donna Summer) and "Woman In Love".
In the 1980s, she directed the film adaptation of 'Yentl', which also saw Streisand play the title role as well as sing the songs featured in the motion picture. Her other notable films include: 'The Prince Of Tides', 'The Mirror Has Two Faces' and 'Meet The Fockers'.
Only Streisand has achieved at least one #1 album in every decade since the 1960s. Among her most popular are: 'Guilty', 'The Broadway Album' and 'Partners'. Her most recent album, 'Walls', was unleashed in late 2018.
