Barbra shares new headshot

#nofilter 😂

Get it Babs. She looks 62.

That picture is actually a few years old and she’s used it before officially.

Odo from Star Trek:Deep Space Nine.

i thot tat waz mee!1

If Liza and Faye can have a documentary, who not me?

...why not me

I've wondered why American Masters hasn't done an episode about her. No matter what, she has contributed a great deal in music and film over decades. Her rise has been phenomenal by any measure.

American Masters, probably can't do it without her cooperation. I hope they hustle with this documentary. She is so laborious with every endeavor. She's no spring chicken, notwithstanding that lovely AI image.

She and Liz Sheridan could have been twins.

Looks great

The recent video of Cher.She looks awful-like a drag queen OF Cher and she’s missing a middle section as she has morphed into hunchback.Poor Cher Babs looks great.

Hot in the heels of you flop memoir, a flop documentary that’ll never see the light of day.

I hope it doesn't come out before I finish reading her memoir, which I estimate to be mid-May 2025.

At least Babs got rid of that frizzy bird's nest.

Using the Mame filter, I see.

Babs needs a bit of bounce to look like a Breck girl.

[quote] Looks great

[italic]Anyone[/italic] would with that much Photoshop and filtering.

She's working with Alex Gibney? I know him well. I'll have to find out things.... He's such a nice and professional man though I doubt he will share dirt with me lol. I'm also one step removed from Frank Marshall too. I'll send out my feelers.

Gibney has directed docos on musicians and multihyphenates likes Sinatra.

...like Sinatra.

Oh but Variety says Frank Marshall is the director and Gibney is producing this definitive multi-part documentary.

r12 Link please

Amazing.

So naturally young, and gleaming like genetic alabaster.

She's so real!

Wow, that MAGA freaks are after her in comments on her post. Sheesh.

That image is at least 20 years old. She doesn't look like that.

I think she looks amazing.

#13 = Jason, mopping-up at Like Buttah Confectionery in the mall.

That photo was taken nearly a decade ago, when she first confirmed she was writing her memoir. Many thought this would be the cover of the book, not realizing it would take nearly 10 years to release.

It was a good choice not to use this photo for the book cover. The one chosen is quite iconic.

If she had used this one for the book cover, I'm pretty she she would have outsold Britney Spears and Matthew Perry.

I’ve seen less Vaseline on someone’s face at one of Diddy’s freak off parties than this……

I like her Fabio hair.

Where have her lips gone?

She hasn’t aged a day from when she starred in Star Trek: Deep Space 9 from 1993 to 2000.

Who knew that Odo was Jewish? And a chanteuse.

Frank Marshall directed the documentary The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart (2020). Barbra was seen in pics in that but not interviewed.

Now, at 82, she has squinty eyes, her cheeks are near her ears, and her hair is a frizzy grayish mess. She looks like a bag lady in Manhattan.

That picture has to be at least twenty years ago.

I saw her in person in LA, close up, at a theater and she didn’t look anything like that photo anymore

Oh my Lord, R37 - that was brutal!!! I haven't laughed so much since watching Mariah's latest attempt to sing "live". 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for dropping a spec of fun into my charred, blackened little heart and please, come sit by me! 💘

R15 - no she didn’t

Slightly OT. but shouldn’t they be growing sheets of new skin in labs somewhere, so when you get a facelift you can opt for fresh skin?

I don’t know how this isn’t a thing yet.

I’ll look forward to the docu. Streisand’s career and life have been amazing. She’s a mix of huge talent and intelligence- flaws and all a fascinating woman.

Will I mentioned in the doc? I should be.

Would Maggie smith have admired it?

I'd love to see a film about Babs' EARLY career. Lose everything after The Way We Were.

Or a Star was Born

NO A Star is Born or Jon Peters. The way she treated him in her book, Peters may hardly be mentioned in a documentary.

Why does she need a multi-part documentary? Even Jane Fonda, who had a much more multifaceted career, managed to capture it all in two and a half hours.

Because no one will give her any other job?

Because she’s dying and wants to secure her legacy?

Because she’s bored and needs something to do?

I've been shopping my bio around- "Great Big Beautiful Doll"- but no contracts yet.

^ that’s because Lainie still won’t come clean about her lesbian proclivities

Even Jane Fonda, who had a much more multifaceted career

Jane didn't have a singing and recording career. And her activism doesn't count as career.

Her appearance on Colbert showed that her mobility is not good. He was almost holding her up as they walked through her garden. A documentary is a good way for her to stay creative, busy and somewhat in the spotlight without leaving the house!

[quote]Jane didn't have a singing and recording career. And her activism doesn't count as career.

Working with the black panthers and going to Vietnam is far more compelling than building a fucking mall in your basement.

R55 I first witnessed that when Gayle King interviewed her, and they were walking through her 'shopping mall' in her basement - Streisand wasn't to stable on her feet. Something's going on with her - and I said it back then. I doubt we will ever find out.

Working with the black panthers and going to Vietnam is far more compelling than building a fucking mall in your basement.

Tom Hayden, who left Jane for a younger woman

Frank Marshall says “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Barbra’s incredible life story to the screen. We have been given unprecedented access to archival footage from decades of her groundbreaking career and intimate visibility to the trailblazing she continues to do in life today. Uncovering these remarkable moments illustrate why she has become an enduring icon to a global audience of all generations.

Jane's aerobics empire > Barbra's underground mall

When Barbra dies, Jon will finally publish his juicy memoir.

She looks 9!

She actually had a duet with Don Johnson! I bought that CD lol

The more material that is released, the more one realizes what a talent she was from the very beginning. The recordings from the Bon Soir are a good example.

R50, Fonda had a more multifaceted career? She did more film than Streisand, yes. But did she go to the top of every show business media, stage, screen, recording, concert and TV. Did she produce, compose, write and direct? Both are incredible philanthropists and liberal activists.

Two amazing women. But I don’t think Streisand has a real peer.

She is not in her Prime

Did Jane ever say a word about Pol Pot or the millions killed in the Cultural Revolution?

R65. I never said Barbra hasn’t had a great career. I’m saying there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be condensed into a two hour movie. A miniseries covering what? It’s going to be akin to what people said about her book, overlong and verbose.

Her fans (like Streisand herself) go overboard, If you really want to be honest, despite breaking records, how much of that work has held up? You could make a succinct movie, and that’s really what it merits.

Folks, Barbra is 82 YEARS OLD. Being shaky on your feet is normal. Elderly people frequently die or begin a fast decline in health after FALLS. She’s smart to hang on to the nearest sure footed person.

I believe this documentary is to compensate for the dismal reaction and low sales of her memoir.

R61, who will publish it? Peters lies more than Trump.

[quote]She actually had a duet with Don Johnson! I bought that CD lol

The duet was the title track from her 1988 album "Till I Loved You" . It also included another duet with him, 'What Were We Thinking Of' . The title track hit #25 on the Hot 100 Singles Chart. The album peaked at #10, and was certified Platinum (1M albums sold). So a lot of people bought that CD, despite the 'mixed' reviews.

I actually like "Till I Loved You." I'm a fan of her musicality, vibrato and timber (it is hard to explain and I am not on the spectrum). This is one of her songs that these things are very apparent.

They had headshots in 1964. Who knew.

She's not hanging onto people because she's 82 and therefore trying to avoid a fall because all 82 year olds are 'shaky'. If that were the case, we'd have our senior politicians on mandatory zimmer frames. Some 82 year olds have health conditions that make them unsteady on their feet. Some 82 year olds are flying about in high heels. She has something - arthritis, balance issues, circulation issues who knows. She didn't avoid in person talk show appearances, signings and Q&As because she couldn't get Jason to cover her shift at the mall. The book sales took a hit because of her lacklustre marketing - and the size of the book and the lack of gossip.

I think whatever she has is neurological, which is affecting her balance / stability. It's quite common in older people.

It's been nearly a year her book was released, and so far no mention of a paperback edition (which is usually released 6- 9 months after a hardcover best-seller). I wouldn't be surprised if the publishers decided to cancel any plans for a PB edition, based on the sales of the hardcover. I'm also curious if the hardcover inventory which is left will be in the 'bargain bins' for this Christmas season.

Currently, Amazon has it marked down to $22 - that's 53% off the cover price of $47. (I paid $35 at Amazon when it was released, pre-bought it in February, 2023).

R69, so young. . .

R74, some, but not most. More people than not over 80 have balance issues. You’ll find out.

She pressed the Benjamin Button HARD

I always wanted to know if and when she got a new head. Now I know…

She doesn't exercise that's why she's in poor shape!

For what I should get all sweaty and tired exercising? If Ozempic worked for Melissa, it can work for me.

Barbra, if you’re in Ozempic, it’s NOT working.

Producer Alex Gibney also said in the press release that "people have been talking about the need for the definitive documentary on Barbra Streisand for years."

"After a series of wonderful conversations and rigorous research, we are moving forward with Frank Marshall at the helm," he said. "I am delighted to produce this film on Barbra, a legendary singer, extraordinary actor, director, and political activist who inspires us all. Did I forget to mention that she’s a great storyteller who is funny as hell?"

People have been talking? Maybe, but they’re dead now.

That headshot looks like Beauty and the Beast from the 80's show melded together

The release promises that the access to Streisand’s personal archives alongside contemporary verité will provide an “in-depth look at Streisand’s star-studded past and her current artistic endeavors.

Current endeavors? I know she was recording a new album but what else?

New facelift? New joint replacements? New store in the mall?

R86 Her ongoing push for GYPSY.

Another album? She really needs to stop. Everyone knows her voice is gone and has been for awhile. The recording will be as fake as her face. I really thought she had more integrity but that went out the window a decade or more ago.

R89, someone (lots of people) is encouraging her, and she doesn't have the sense or perspective to understand that they're lying. It reminds me of Robert Redford's hair/wig. He somehow believes it looks good, and no one has the guts to stop him from leaving the house like this. Much younger wife is just waiting for $$$ after death.

I think whatever she has is neurological, which is affecting her balance / stability

The rumor was that her gown for the 2019 London Hyde Park concert hid a walking device. Hard to believe though.

A walking device ? Such as what ? Mechanical, remote controlled legs ?

She's always looked like a dog. WOOF

I hated her perm look and she kept that for years

R94, I think it was enhanced or sometimes a wig
