More Barbra Streisand Trivia...
- Barbra's Porn Movie? Not! Although the “actress” in this “film” resembles Barbra, it is not her. Barbra even joked about it in the Playboy interview:
“I couldn't resist the temptation to see what the actress looked like—and also to check out her performance—so we got a copy. The film, naturally, is very blurred. The girl has long hair, like I did back in the Sixties, although she was chubby, while I was very skinny. But the dead giveaway came when the camera zoomed in on her hands around the guy's you-know-what. There they were: short, stubby fingers! Definitely not mine. So all you would-be buyers, don't waste your money.”
- Barbra Streisand has had Tinnitus since she was a little girl. In an interview with Barbara Walters (1985) she said she longs for silence. According to the American Tinnitus Association, “Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, hissing, or other sounds in the ears or head when no external sound is present. For some people, tinnitus is just a nuisance. For others, it is a life-altering condition. In the United States, an estimated 12 million people have tinnitus to a distressing degree.”
- Streisand was the first person ever to receive a Grammy, an Emmy, an Oscar, and a Tony. She won her first Grammy in 1963, her first Emmy in 1965, her first Oscar in 1968, and her Tony in 1970. Her Tony was a non-competitive award for Star of the Decade, which is why most people attribute this first to others (such as Rita Moreno) who won all 4 awards in competitive categories.
