This is the second of two lectures about the life and work of Barbra Streisand. A multifaceted talent, Streisand is a funny girl, a star, a singer, an actress, a director, and an icon. Born in Brooklyn, New York, she rose from humble beginnings to become a showbiz legend. While initially aspiring to be an actress, her remarkable voice propelled her to stardom in nightclubs and on Broadway before transitioning to Hollywood. Streisand’s iconic roles include Fanny Brice in “Funny Girl,” Dolly Levi in “Hello Dolly!,” Dr. Susan Lowenstein in “The Prince of Tides,” and, of course, “Yentl,” which was also her directorial debut. Her music, including hits like “Evergreen” and “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” has left an indelible mark. With numerous awards, including five Emmys, nine Grammys, two Oscars, and a Tony Award, Streisand’s journey exemplifies perseverance and staying true to oneself.
