About

Since her debut in Funny Girl, her bold vision and uncompromising control of her entire artistic output have made Barbra Streisand highly successful – and sometimes sparked controversy. Despite her popularity and numerous awards, she has been stigmatised in the entertainment industry as a ‘diva’. Streisand’s work as a producer and director have shattered the glass ceiling and reshaped our idea of what a diva is today, but not without personal cost.
