Inside the Actors Studio: Barbra Streisand on AllMovie

Barbra Streisand takes the legendary New School stage in conversation with James Lipton for this very special two-hour episode of the Bravo series Inside the Actors Studio. In it, the powerhouse diva, cinematic multihyphenate, and social activist retraces numerous phases of her early life -- from her impoverished Brooklyn childhood to a singing gig at Bon Soir to her premier Broadway roles and network specials. Streisand then reflects lyrically on dozens of highlights from her movie career -- first as an actress, in such gems as Funny Girl and What's Up, Doc?, then in terms of her establishment as one of Hollywood's most formidable screenwriters, producers, and directors, with projects ranging from Yentl to The Mirror Has Two Faces.
