In a meditative and heartfelt speech, Barbra Streisand accepted the SAG Life Achievement Award on Saturday by paying tribute to the industry’s roots and extolling her abiding passion for the craft.
“For a couple of hours people could sit in a theater and escape their own troubles – what an idea! Moving pictures on a screen,” she said in remarks that followed a nearly 1-minute standing ovation as she took the stage.
“I can’t help but think back to the people who built this industry. Ironically, they were also escaping their own troubles,” she continued, in a contemplative but forceful tone. Samuel Goldwyn, Louis B. Mayer and the four Warner Brothers “were all fleeing the prejudice they faced in Easter Europe, simply because of their religion. And they were dreamers, too, like all of us here tonight.

The Oscar heavyweight, Grammy-winning great and all-around icon, Barbra Streisand was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 30th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
“This is such a wonderful award to get because you know in advance you’re going to get it. You don’t have to sit there in squirm… And if you don’t have to put on such a happy face, ‘I’m so happy to lose!’ Anyway, you all know what I mean,” the legend joked.
Pivoting to more serious matters, Streisand revealed that she was proud to be a SAG-AFTRA member for over 60 years, “I can’t believe it. I remember dreaming of being an actress as a teenager, sitting in my bed in Brooklyn with a pint of coffee ice cream and a movie magazine.”
But in the end, Streisand dedicated her lifetime achievement speech to the actors among her in the auditorium.

Actress-singer Barbra Streisand once had an obsession with gambling on the stock market. The 81-year-old revealed buying and selling stocks gave her a “thrill” between 1998 and 2000 as she traded millions of dollars, including investing in Viagra maker Pfizer.
According to the Mirror, she wrote in her memoir ‘My Name Is Barbra’: “From about 1998 to 2000, I was trading Monday through Friday, from 6.30 a.m. to 1 p.m. At 6.25 a.m. my eyes would open wide, without an alarm.
“I’d get up, throw on my bathrobe, sit down at my new desk with a cup of hot chocolate, and start trading. That was a whole new learning experience. I like gambling. Whenever I sang in Las Vegas, I would play blackjack.”
Barbra shared her methods of picking new stocks were unusual, based on personal preferences rather than in depth research, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

When celebrities and British royalty meet. It’s happened time and time again over the years, and, as such, there are many stories about Hollywood stars meeting royals. One of the latest comes from Barbra Streisand. The award-winning singer recounted meeting a young King Charles III in her 2023 memoir. Although she inadvertently created the “equivalent of an international incident,” it marked the start of a lifelong friendship.
Barbra Streisand and the king met at a California recording studio in 1974
In her memoir, My Name Is Barbra, which debuted on Nov. 7, 2023, Streisand shared the story of how she and King Charles met. It was 1974, and the young prince’s naval career brought him to San Diego, California, where Streisand was working, recording the Funny Lady soundtrack.
“He asked to meet me,” Streisand wrote. “So, he came to the recording studio.” But, as she shared, the atmosphere wasn’t ideal for getting to know each other.

Barbra Streisand has revealed that she has no plans to return to the big screen anytime soon.
The Egot winner, who hasn’t starred in a movie in more than a decade, recently told People Magazine that the movie-making process can be tiring.
“I mean, it was 2009 that I was fighting for the rights to play Gypsy,” she said. “In other words, it gets exhausting, trying to come up with the structure of the movie and then have it not happen.”
But Streisand admitted that if she could have made her movies, she “never would’ve written a book. I had such good movies to make, meaning they were about things I cared about, very interesting subjects.”
The actress-singer has tried to get several projects made over the years, including The Normal Heart, Gypsy and a sequel to The Way We Were. She recently said on The Howard Stern Show...

Hello, gorgeous. That’s what some Barbra Streisand fans have been murmuring to their physical editions of “My Name Is Barbra,” her memoir, since it came out one month ago, and over that time has become a nightly bedtime companion (its 970-page length not quite built for bingeing), as well as a sort of objet d’art, and objet d’heft. Streisand may be the only entertainer alive whose multifaceted career merits all that and possibly more, to the point that, as the book nears its index-less close, a tireless reader might reasonably wish it’d actually cracked the four-figure page mark.
With some of the book’s more relaxed buyers just now crossing the finish line, Streisand is ready to talk a bit more about it. Variety got on the phone with her and, while ours was hardly as epic a conversation as the marathon she did with Howard Stern,...

When Barbra Streisand’s “Yentl” opened on Nov. 18, 1983, directing was very much a man’s world. In the 1970s, there had been a few inroads for women. Italian director Lina Wertmuller was nominated for best director for 1976’s “Seven Beauties” Stateside, actress Barbara Loden, who was married to Oscar-winning director Elia Kazan, wrote, directed and starred in the acclaimed 1970 indie drama “Wanda,” which won best foreign film at the Venice Film Festival. She never followed up with another movie and died of breast cancer in 1980.
There was also Joan Micklin Silver (“Hester Street”), Claudia Weill (“Girlfriends”), Martha Coolidge (“Not a Pretty Picture”), Joan Tewkesbury (“Old Boyfriends”) and Joan Darling (“First Love”). But those filmmakers ran into brick walls when they tried to set up projects with the major studios. The late Silver told Vanity Fair in 2021 that a studio executive didn’t mince his word: “Feature films are expensive to make and expensive to market,...

Idol is a bubbling cistern of anxiety at this point, and I won't paaaatroniiiize (quoth Hollie's "I Can't Make You Love Me" performance) you with much fanfare before the nitty-gritty. We have four combatants left, and exactly two of them should be shoo-ins for the final episode. And yet, they aren't. Will the finest two vocalists prevail? Because I am telling you they might be going. Bawl for us, Jennifer Holliday.

Don your naughtiest Owl and the Pussycat lingerie and jump along with us through a haphazard history of the woman who dazzled Broadway, dumbfounded Ryan O'Neal (I am obsessed with What's Up, Doc?), and has remained larger than life for longer than anyone else.

He jokes about harassing his cousin Harris on Facebook, pokes fun at Cold Stone Creamery, Cvs Pharmacy and Craigslist and then finishes with two big pre-encore bits involving Kanye West and R. Kelly, including an extended impression of R&B singer Kelly both in concert and then getting lapdances at the after-party. He even makes fun of himself for being tongue-tied around M.I.A.
