An 80th Birthday Celebration! Barbra Streisand first dazzled Broadway audiences with her comedic timing and enchanting voice. Then, she filled our stereos, television sets, and cinema screens with laughter, tears, and wonder, collecting Emmys, Grammys, Oscars, Tonys, and many other accolades across an illustrious seven-decade career. From humble beginnings in Brooklyn, Barbra would become a global ambassador for the arts, and a pioneer—the first woman to write, produce, direct, and star in a big-budget film with Yentl in 1983. From Funny Girl to serious filmmaker, multi-platinum recording artist to influential activist, Barbra has been a woman for all seasons. We are proud to celebrate Barbra’s 80th birthday by looking back on her phenomenal rise to stardom and her impact on entertainment today.
