Who was better-looking in their prime: Barbra Streisand or Lainie Kazan?

Kazan had a more carnal visual appeal in her heyday, especially with the ample bosom she generously shared with the world. But Barbra's charisma and overall talent made her more striking and attractive.

[quote]I couldn't find a photo of them together.

Oh, honey.

Lainie had the better face by a long shot. Can't stand those boobs though.

^ Mr. Goldstone at r3 does *not* like them eggrolls.

Bitchy Ebert is my favorite Ebert.

“Raquel Welch, who shares top, billing, appears briefly in the movie, exhibits her body and mouths lines by rote as we have come to expect. She can't act; it's cruel to force her. She may be the first pizza waitress discovered as a movie star. Lainie Kazan, who makes a cameo appearance, is everything Miss Welch is advertised as: beautiful, talented, sexy.”

Barbra just should have hired Peter Bogdanovich to follow her around. She never looked better than the way he filmed her in What's Up, Doc.

LOVE LAINIE, R5!

Both Lainie and Mimi Hines got similar rave reviews as Streisand did doing Funny Girl. It's a myth that Streisand was the only one who could play that role.

As for why Lainie and Barbra have never been photographed, it's obvious. Despite her public feminist stances, Barbra has always been jealous of women who are much more sexual and attractive than she is. It's why she never performs with any female artists in public and will never be photographed with a hotter woman.

Look at what she did to poor Kim Carnes on the single cover. Changed the women's eye color because only Barbra could have that shade. That speaks volumes about her.

No, r1. Lainie was absolutely more attractive than Babs.

Shirley Bassey is hotter than Babs and the latter consented to a pic.

Tig ol biddies

Streisand and the cuter Sally Field.

Yes, R9. But did you know that Lainie prefers the ladies?

Babs performed with Ariana. She can’t be that insecure.

Does Lainie have a grandson?

Wasn't Taylor Dayne supposed to show Broadway her Fanny?

This is gorgeous.

This is rather lovely. If only Lainie's style were always so simple and direct.

Babs never had an physical appeal because she always gave off the impression she could only fall in love with the two people she ever married, barely.

R19, huh? You do know she lived with a number of men other than her two husbands, and famously date some pretty prominent men in politics and journalism, not just show business.

Silly to compared one of the most iconic and talented show business phenoms ever to a character actress of modest success who was her under study on B’way at age 22.

Why, r20 is aghast at the mere IDEA of a comparison!

Let's compare the list of men Babs fucked BEFORE she was rich and famous with the list of men she fucked AFTER...

So what. Lainie had as many or more in the form of Broadway and Las Vegas lovelies!
