Barbara Streisand Interview (1966) | Late Night Lineup BBC TV | Music Icons | Monarch Films

In this vintage interview with Barbara Streisand, the iconic star of stage and screen discusses early concerns about becoming a singer. She felt that singing would ‘bastardize’ her work as an actress. However, she soon discovered that singing as a solo artist was exactly what she wanted to do. She was alone to create, to build the mood of massive entertainment venues through voice, lyrics, and musical accompaniment - with each song affording the opportunity to portray new characters and reach new heights as a performer. In this interview, Babs is only 23 years old. Yet she was already a Broadway legend with 7 chart-topping LP’s and ten CBS specials under her belt. She had recently shot “Funny Girl” and was about to take the world by storm with her acting talents.
Footage pulled from 'Pop Icon: Barbara Streisand' distributed by Monarch Films. The Music Icons documentary series includes 46 biographical profiles of Rock, Pop & Country Icons. It is available for TV, Digital & Streaming Platforms Licensing Worldwide w/ multiple language versions including English, Spanish, German, France, Italian & Japanese.

The greatest star there ever was or will be.

[@carlswan7935]

She really is incredible. It’s so cool to see her at this early point, and hear her perspectives.

[@moviebuff5230]

Yep

[@guileniam]

micheal jackson says hi lol

[@zayvier69]

This was hands down the most honest and revealing of her interviews as well as one that early on addressed her views in singing and acting and how she reconciled them
All conveyed in 3 minutes

[@MonarchFilmsInc]

Feel the same. 100%

[@moviebuff5230]

And she hasn’t changed her story since 😊she says the same thing today

[@gekevanderhoek1106]

This woman has still the voice👌

[@tommoncrieff1154]

Something here, maybe being on BBC or being in England, made her more candid and truthful in self analysis, she rarely spoke with this lack of guardedness or immediacy again.

[@MonarchFilmsInc]

totally agree, I love her openness in this. she seems so inviting and ... ugh, I hate to say it, but real. You know? I guess that makes sense tho. When we're younger, we are usually more optimistic and open (and maybe a smidge naive). She was so young here, and so many amazing things were yet to happen for Babs and her career. Thanks for commenting, Tom.

[@moviebuff5230]

I disagree …you can hear any of her interviews …she says the same thing she’s one of the most honest and truthful of any celebrity. I’ve listened to over 150 of her interviews she says almost the same thing she’s very true to what she says and she hasn’t changed same with Her politics… hasn’t changed since the 60s

[@10Vernonplace]

This is the first good interview I have heard with her. I love it.

Golly gee it's Babra Stricszan

lol

[@onacsareibaj7566]

Sometimes I don't know if her hair was short or she's wearing short hair wig in the 1960s decade.

[@lawrencedistefano145]

I’m feeling she did both. Here is her actual hair but many times it obviously a wig, as many times in Funny Girl. I’m in the hair biz so I feel pretty sure of this. :)

[@planesandcooking5142]

That was her real hair cut. From 1967 on she began to wear wigs as she was growing her hair out. Still wearing wigs, even at the 1970 Oscar win ceremony.

[@MonarchFilmsInc]

Hmm, never even thought about it. Wigs seem like standard practice for famous celebs so I wouldn't be surprised if she had one.
