That said, I loved her way before that - she's one of the only unapologetically female Jewish public figures I can think of who's achieved that level of success. Talk about your early role models ....
WHAT?!?! I LOVE Yentl! I used to watch that movie repeatedly as a child.AprilBaby|1336002158|3186124 said:Really began to hate her after Yentil. Why in the world did she think anyone would believe she was a man???? One of the worst movies ever!
I should have just quoted you and said "ditto." But I was too distracted by the Yentl hatin' that I couldn't read through the entire thread.Circe|1336005325|3186170 said:Love her, but I may be biased, because I apparently resemble her strongly (seriously, in college people used to come up to me to ask if I was a professional impersonator, and on Halloween, my 1930s Society Lady was interpreted as "Pregnant Barbara Streisand" by three separate people - apparently, the second I'm anything but a blonde, the resemblance is uncanny (which is, in and of itself, highly ironic)).

Discuss what?
How do we decide whether we "like" a celebrity or not when we only know them from their own PR or a tabloid spin on their life?
She's a great talent. The Voice of Her Generation. No doubt about it.
I don't agree 100% with her politics.
Ladies and professionals shouldn't tell hecklers to "Eff off!" at their concerts, which she did.
I love her Malibu 'compound', although some of her money could have been used for more good than multiple houses filled with stuff.
I can't even begin to understand how she and James Brolin became spouses. It's a mystery to me.
I neither like nor dislike her. I have sometimes wanted to tell her to shut up. Well, when she wasn't singing.
