Could be one of the cheesiest titles I have ever created! Barbara Streisand is still alive, still winning shit and still selling out mega halls at bazillion bucks a seat. Why?
Our love of nostalgia for the way we were? Yentl? For the sheer joy of saying we saw her??
Now according the the RIAA she’s is the #1 best selling female recording artist in history and the only woman to make the Top 10 all time best selling artists list.
Barbra Streisand is the only artist ever to receive an Oscar, Tony, Emmy, Grammy, Directors Guild of America, Golden Globe, National Medal of Arts and Peabody Awards as well as France’s Legion d’Honneur and the American Film Institute’s Lifetime Achievement Award. She is, in fact, the recipient of 2 Oscars, 5 Emmys, 10 Grammys, a Tony and 12 Golden Globes including the Cecil B. DeMille Award. She is also the first female film director to receive the Kennedy Center Honors. The three films she directed received 14 Oscar nominations.
That’s a ton of accolade from the self proclaimed ‘little Jewish Girl from Brooklyn’. She has a crazy rep to with loads of stipulations and dodgy anonymous things but that adds to her mystique.
It’s good to see it’s a classic like Babs holding this title rather than some wreck like Madonna. Unless of course you people keep buying her crap.
