Barbra Streisand then
Over the six decades of her career in the entertainment industry, Barbra Streisand has proven her talent in acting, singing and film-making, and you probably couldn’t find one person in the county who isn’t familiar with the Hollywood legend. Barbra Streisand is living proof that hard work pays off; she’s always dreamed of being an actress, and she chased that dream until it turned into reality.
In 1960, Streisand took a job as an usher at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater and decided to audition for a musical. She didn’t get the part, but the director complimented her voice and advised her to seek work in the field. That’s how she started a career as a singer in nightclubs and then on Broadway, before finally making her first on-screen appearance on television.
