Growing up in the early 60's, as a child, I actually owned two pairs of white gloves at 5 years old to wear on special occasions as Miss Kilgallen did. I even learned the proper way to drape them over my handbag at an event that required eating where one would not "wear" gloves when one might get food on them, but you still had to "have" them. I'm still in awe of my mother telling me she used to go grocery shopping in a skirt-suit with hat, stockings, gloves, and heels. I'm impressed with myself if I don't wear my sweatpants to Walmart. She was also a professional housekeeper and mother. At that same time period, she would mop, dust and vacuum the house EVERY day. She made every meal from scratch, and still took time to make toys and play with my sister and me every day. She made "homemade" play doh to teach us to make doll accessories, created toy kitchen appliances out of boxes, and made her own bubble liquid to blow monster bubbles. It took me about 20 years to realize what an amazing woman she was. In her teens, she was hired by a newspaper as a fashion illustrator (she was very artistic), but put her heart and soul into making a wonderful household after meeting my father.

WTF are YOU talking about. I grew up around the West Side of NYC when gang warfare was common and Jewish neighbourhoods were overrun with antisemitism. `West Side Story` (the original) documents. In London ditto today. Golders Green, Colindale, STamford Hill (old Jewish neighbourhoods) not only are in receipt of masssive migration but massive migration of antisemitism. This is the F+ of what I am talking about. When I saw Streisand Basin Street in the Fifties, the Mc (Irish) came out there and made vicious antisemite remarks before Streisand appeared. Streisand herself remarks about some of this. She passes it off. Well she should as she has risen aoove it, big time. Possibly she excuses it. But if Barbara had not ended up as a rich as she is and as successful she`d be living like the rest of Jewry tryingto fend off antisemitism and to get parity medical, employment, houisng, education.

The more I watch, the more I WANT to watch; not only can I not say that about television any longer, but I gave up on TV even before it went from analog to totally digital in 2009. I'll say it again, what's the point of having four hundred channels and only garbage to watch? Take me back to the three major networks that competed vigorously for ratings (remember the Neilson's?) Long before the average household knew of or could afford recording equipment, there was so much quality viewing on any of those three stations, you hardly knew what to pick to watch. How sad things have changed for the worse in the decades of my lifetime.

Whether or not a show from that era was meant for children, many children could watch a lot of what was on without negative results (commercials included).To me, that represented quality television...

While COVID-19 has given us a lot to worry about, it has also given us a lot to think about, and more time to think about it. I like threads like this that give insightful retrospective, because they show how we have individually and more so collectively progressed in many ways; and, sadly, how we may have regressed in some, especially as a nation. Without throwing politics into this, it seems as though the ease of life has replaced the quality of life on many levels, especially in technology. EVERYONE now has access to anything and everything. I'm glad that KZbin continues to remind many of us about our past so that we can refresh ourselves enough to positively face our present...

I just happened to watch another WML episode from 1959 when Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman were the Mystery Guests and the voice Joanne Woodward used was a slightly accented European accent almost exactly like Barbra's so I can see why Gore Vidal thought it was Joanne since he was a great friend of both Newmans having actually lived with them for a period of time and he likely heard Joanne playfully using that voice in casual company.

Joe Postove I agree with you, Joe. She was and remains stunning. Her unique features are part of her brand. Many encouraged her toward rhinoplasty, which she smartly ignored. Think of say, Jennifer Grey who had a unique profile, went for surgery and didn't work much after that, in part by choice but also because folks didn't recognize her. After rhinoplasty she no longer had the unique "No one puts Baby in a corner" visage that made her an international name. She was just plain ol' pretty. Angelica Houston, Sophia Coppola, The Divine Miss M and Babs are unique character beauties, memorable. Cheers!

When Ray Stark started hiring writers to script "My Man," Barbra was a kid. When "My Man" finally went into production, it became one of the most troubled Broadway productions of that period. If the stories are to be believed, Stark and David Merrick thought first of Edie Gorme and Carol Burnett as "Fanny Brice" before they considered Streisand. At least finally they did the right thing. It is interesting to see a genuine young phenom right at the time she burst on the Broadway scene. A star is born.

Funny that Vidal thought Streisand was Joanne Woodward, I just noticed on Wikipedia that he was actually engaged to her briefly before she married Paul Newman in '58.

I wonder how the two Shepherds meet.. How did they come to know about each other.. Did WML find them separately and found it interesting that they had the same name?
@Tesserae Жыл бұрын
WTOP was a CBS affiliate and the other station was too; John Daly mentioned that they both did the weather after the show aired. WML was shown on CBS so that’s how the connection was likely made.

Barbra had just started her run in "Funny Girl" which ran for three years and 1308 performances (I don't know if she did the entire Broadway run...from IBDB it seems she did). Sydney Chaplin (son of Charlie and talented actor in his own right... March 30, 1926 - March 3, 2009) played Nick Arnstein. Lainie Kazan was her standby/understudy. Did Lainie ever make it onstage during the run? I can see her as Fannie Brice easily! Opening Date: Mar 26, 1964 Closing Date: Jul 01, 1967
@kelloggs54734 жыл бұрын
Yes, Lainie Kazan got onstage portraying Fanny Brice. Dorothy Kilgallen reported in her New York Journal-American column that the understudy had made her first appearance. 1965 was the year. You can find the column and read it.
@preppysocks2094 жыл бұрын
Yes, she did. My parents had tickets for a Sat evening performance to see Funny Girl and went to NY specifically to see Barbra. When they arrived they heard that Streisand had been sick but had performed the matinee. Then they announced that Lainie Kazan would go on for her for the evening performance. In those days, people could turn in their tickets in that situation, and my parents said hundreds of locals did so. My mother always thought Barbra should have skipped out on the matinee. . It was the only performance of the run that she missed. My mother said Ms Kazan was good but my parents had the Broadway cast album and they knew it wasn't the same. About 30 years later, Barbra appeared on Rosie O'Donnell and was asked if she had ever missed a performance. At first, she said no and then she remembered she had missed one, this one.. She then told the story inaccurately -- I am not accusing her of lying, but the way she told the story she was a martyr.
