Barbra Streisand: Biografia | Biography

Fonte: mymovies.it

Barbra Streisand Cantante, attrice, regista e produttrice cinematografica. Una donna, mille mestieri. Un'artista unica che ha dato il suo contributo all'arte americana, dimostrando un eclettismo straordinario, e la capacità di mantenere decoro ed eleganza, sotto le luci dei riflettori come nella vita privata. 

È la prima donna al mondo ad aver ricevuto numerosi premi prestigiosi nel corso della sua carriera: due Oscar, sei Emmy Award, undici Golden Globe, dieci Grammy Award, un Tony Award, due David di Donatello e trenta album diventati dischi di platino negli Usa. Nata e cresciuta nel quartiere di Brooklyn, 

la giovane Barbra Streisand perde il padre dopo poco più di un anno di vita. La tragedia la segna profondamente tanto da non farle accettare la presenza del patrigno, con il quale avrà sempre un rapporto difficile. Il suo debutto nel mondo della musica avviene in un bar di Manhattan nel 1960, 

dove ottiene subito un incredibile successo. Comincia così a salire quegli scalini che la porteranno a diventare un mito della musica internazionale: nel 1962 esce con il suo primo album "The Barbra Streisand Album", grazie al quale vince due Grammy Award. Mentre le sue canzoni svettano nelle 

classifiche del botteghino, anche il palcoscenico di Broadway la porta alla ribalta: protagonista assoluta del musical "Funny Girl" ottiene il favore della critica più efferata. Nel frattempo anche la televisione la vuole e di lì a poco i duetti con Judy Garland, andati in onda nella seconda metà degli anni Sessanta sulla CBS, le faranno vincere l'ambito Emmy Award.

Barbra Joan Streisand (born Barbara Joan Streisand April 24, 1942) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and filmmaker. During a career spanning six decades, she has become an icon in multiple fields of entertainment, winning numerous awards, which has earned her recognition as 

Mother of All Contemporary Pop Divas or Queen of The Divas. She has been recognized with two Academy Awards, ten Grammy Awards including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the Grammy Legend Award, five Emmy Awards including one Daytime Emmy, a Special Tony Award, 

an American Film Institute award, a Kennedy Center Honors prize, four Peabody Awards, and eleven Golden Globes. She is among a select group of entertainers who have been honored with all the major industry prizes.

Streisand is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with more than 72.5 million albums in the United States and with a total of 245 million records sold worldwide, making her the best-selling female artist among the top-selling artists recognized by the Recording Industry Association of America. (The only female in the top ten, and the only artist outside of the rock 'n' roll genre.)

After beginning a successful recording career in the 1960s, Streisand ventured into film by the end of the decade. She starred in the critically acclaimed Funny Girl, for which she won the Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. Her other films include The Owl and the Pussycat, 

The Way We Were, and A Star Is Born, for which she received her second Academy Award, composing music for the love theme "Evergreen", the first woman to be honored as a composer. With the release of Yentl in 1983, Streisand established herself as one of the film industry’s most notable 

figures by becoming the first woman to write, produce, direct, and star in a major studio film.[21] The film won an Oscar for Best Score and Best Motion Picture Musical; Streisand received the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, the first (and to date only) woman to win that award.

The RIAA and Billboard recognize Streisand as holding the record for the most top-ten albums of any female recording artist: a total of 33 since 1963. Streisand is the only recording artist to have a number-one album in each of the last six decades, having released 53 Gold albums, 31 Platinum albums, and 14 Multi-Platinum albums in the United States.
