Intense gaze, untamed hair, magnetic presence… In this archival photo, it’s hard to imagine this young woman becoming one of the most influential artists of her time. Yet, her admirers quickly recognized her. Did you guess?
A star named Barbra Streisand
Her career began on Broadway, but it was her role in “Funny Girl” that catapulted her to the heights of popularity. Her energetic performance earned her an Oscar for Best Actress in her first film. Her meteoric rise to fame.
A multi-talented artist
She made history with the song “Evergreen” from the film “A Star Is Born,” becoming the first woman to win an Oscar for Best Original Song as a composer. A symbolic step forward in a world dominated by men.
Her on-screen magnetism, combined with her exceptional musical sensitivity, creates a remarkable alchemy. She doesn’t act: she inhabits every role.
