Barbra Streisand, Broadway queen, turns 75 today. To celebrate her matchless contributions to American theater and film, check out five of her best on-screen moments, from “Funny Girl” to “The Way We Were.”
1) Her haunting performance of “Papa Can You Heart Me?” in “Yentl”
2) Her impassioned pacifist speech as a young firebrand communist in “The Way We Were”
3) Her soaring ballad “People” from “Funny Girl”
4) Her duet with Judy Garland, “Happy Days Are Here Again”
5) And last but not least, the classic “Don’t Rain On My Parade” — also from “Funny Girl”
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
