Barbara is exceptional..... Just got her book on audible a couple days ago, its really nice that she tells the story of her life She took notes all her life diaries and kept them and then she just goes through them that is her book It almost just sounds like she's chatting step by step about her life..... I'm so happy she's still alive and doing well.... So any celebrities die way too young.

For me, Barbra is the Hollywood version of ugly. Still beautiful but not fitting in the Hollywood standards. In fact, the only feature that is unconventional is her nose and yet, it fits her face. She has beautiful eyes, lips, cheek bones, bone structure, beautiful glowin skin. She's just beautiful.

Streisand was at her vocal prime during the early 70's (well, in fact she was always exceptional, but......). Not only her best rendition to My Man, she delivered Don't Rain on my Parade like she never had before nor did later. Only time we got to hear her singing How Lucky.......live and it's a breathtaking experience.

I can still remember this wintery night back in March of 1975. It was indeed live and just as Barbra began to hum beginning of The Way We Were, we began experiencing power outages due to major snowstorm here in the midwest. It was decades before this special was ever seen again (thanks to You Tube).
