Debatable, but it's undeniable that she has given us some truly magical moments. For our money, this is near the top of the list, capturing a nascent, thrilling young talent and the pathos of a legend fighting to stay afloat.
One things for sure, they don't build them like Babs anymore. Thats why I love her - she has her real nose. It made her tough, and a it made her a survivor. Thats why I adore babs and respect her and her talent.

ReplyDeleteIn April 1965 my mother said to me (then 5 years old): "You don't have to go to bed on time tonight. There's something on TV that you've got to see."
ReplyDeleteI was, of course, Streisand's first television special.
