Netflix presents Barbra Streisand in 'Barbra: The Music... The Mem'ries... The Magic!' with appearances from Melissa McCarthy, Hugh Jackman, & Alec Baldwin.
Barbra Streisand revealed that Marlon Brando came onto her three times, including when they were both married to other people.
Now, in her new memoir My Name Is Barbra, she recalls how their awkward first encounters eventually blossomed into a deep, enduring bond.Did they?: Barbra Streisand revealed that Marlon Brando came onto her three times; they first met in 1965, the year they are both pictured By the time they met in 1965, however, she was the toast of Broadway in Funny Girl - and had also recorded People, which was such a smash hit record that it swiped the top spot on the charts from The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night.
'You're destroying my fantasy,' she said, but Marlon, unperturbed, set her heart aflutter with his reply: 'You can't have a back like that and not have it kissed.' 'As a professional, you learn to just carry on,' she wrote. 'But I was so stunned by is presence that I wanted the song to be perfect, just for him.'
They drifted into a private room and launched into four hours of intense personal conversation, excavating the pain of their turbulent childhoods. The greatest star: She shot to international superstardom in the 1960s, winning an Oscar for the 1968 movie adaptation of her Broadway musical Funny Girl Although Barbra was initially 'offended' by the remark, she thought with hindsight years later that Marlon had actually made a rather 'insightful' point. 'Did he know more about my search for beauty, at that point, than I did?' she wondered.
At the time, though: 'Free love was not my style. Besides, how do you brush your teeth in the desert? Do I sleep with my makeup on?' Marlon at one point called Barbra and said: 'Sing me a song,' a request she bridled at, arguing: 'That's like me asking you to recite a soliloquy from Hamlet.'
