Fran Drescher crushes this interview. She's reverential and professional, honest and respectful, commanding and deferential, inquisitive and receptive, witty and relaxed while centered and solemn... absolutely great interview. Kudos, Madame President!
If you know Fran as a woman, an actress, or The Nanny, you know that she bloody loves Barbra. I am sure this was sweet, oh so sweet for her. Phenomenal women and a great conversation. Fran is doing it!
Fran is a BOSS! She fought for her organization and her fellow actors to get what they deserved. Now, from this interview, Fran finally got to sit down with her idol and just talk like women from the neighborhood. Queens & Brooklyn baby! I loved it . ❤
One of the best interviews Striesand has ever done, much thanks to Fran. Fran made her feel so comfortable and at ease in her values and choices and like Barbra said, behind Fran's laughter is a deep thinking woman. I loved this interview. Kudos Fran Drescher....
What a FANTASTIC interview. Queen Barbra has had to have done hundreds of interviews in the last few months promoting her incredible autobiography and I have probably seen them all, and this is the best exchange by far. It is just so next level. President Fran Drescher is magnificent. She is one of Barbra's most famous super fans so I suspect this was beyond intimidating for her but you would never know. Her genuine love for her favorite artist is felt by La Streisand. She made Barbra feel so comfortable. How marvelous this was to watch. It's like getting a very expensive "Masterclass" of deep wisdom from one of the greatest talents of all time for free.
My heart is exploding for Fran. This was likely a very special moment in her life, and I can't say I'd be nearly as composed as her. To also hear Barbra voted for her... How wonderful.
This is the first time I've seen Streisand have a real conversation with another woman in the business. Fran didn't just flatter Barbra. She listened to Barbra. This was a real tet a tet of mutual respect between two artists. Thank you Fran and Barbra! I hope you do meet again.
Sorry, but that does not make it Iconic. Please stop diluting that word. No one younger than about 40 knows what that word truly means or what it means to truly be an icon. This interview aint it.
Two totally fascinating, highly intellectual and articulate women of our time! What a great and candid interview. I could listen to them speak for hours.... so enlightening, profound and enriching! Thank you both to the contributions you've made to the world. They go far above and beyond the entertainment industry.
You can see how much Fran adores and respects Barbra. But interestingly, I think Barbra was taken by Fran's intelligence and intuition. It was a pleasure to watch them chat!
This interview will live on .. so wonderful to see fabulous, smart , outspoken Fran interviewing Barbara who she clearly looks up to..two women cutting to the chase…all interviews should be this truthful and deep while seemingly simple chat.. bravo. Well done ladies!
I'm ready for PART 2! Barbra said "we'll meet again, I'm sure"... There ya go Fran! This interview is such a wonderful BLESSING in so many ways! BRAVO! 👏.
Yes! "Less is more." I've been acting professionally in film and TV for 16 years. I've worked with Osar winners and movie stars. So when a Casting Assistant for Nickelodeon shows told me that I needed to show my emotion in my work, I just laughed it off.
What a treat to have this conversation available on RUclips! Thanks SAG -AFTRA for making this and sharing this great conversation with all of us! I have gone through some withdrawal since finishing Barbra’s audiobook and this gave me the little bump that I needed.
As a child, young teenager, grow up, my dream was to go to a Barbra Streisand concert. Only problem was, I lived in The Netherlands and going to the USA was something we could not afford. Then for my 40 birthday (this was 17 years ago!) My husband surprised me with tickets to a Barbra Streisand concert in England. When we got there, we where up dated and we sat 6 rows away from Barbra…………… Well let me tell you…….I could die💜💜💜 It was amazing!!!! I just sat there in tears al night. To me, it was (outside of our 3 kids) the best experience in my life. After the concert I told my husband; “I can die in peace now, my biggest wish has come true💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 I truly feel blessed that I got to see her life🥰🥰🥰
What a beautiful husband you have!!! Such a wonderful gift because you desired it so badly and he made it important enough to make your dream a reality ❤❤❤❤
I love this interview because Fran asked very good and interesting questions of Barbra. Then she got out of Barbra way and let her answer the questions without interrupting. Excellent interview. I also think Barbra enjoyed this interview because the question were intelligent.
I've loved Barbaras' work for over 50 years. But I don't think she gives a dam about the nanny. If a show was mentioning me all the time, I would have watched it. At least an episode or 2.
FINALLY a GREAT interview with NEW questions and It ONLY took 40 years and Fran, to ask the questions we've never heard answered before!!! Mazel, Fran!!! xoxo
I have such a good gut feeling after experiencing this interview. Two women sharing, no BS just strength, courage, insecurities and being human and such creatives. Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful
Barbara is brilliant......."BRILLIANT" !!!! She has such wisdom and insight into the human condition. Cudos to Fran Drescher for this terrific interview !
You can tell Barbra was very impressed by Fran's intelligence. My two idols Barbra and Fran together. a dream come true and a nod to The Nanny's fascination with Barbra. These two are Powerful Women
uhmmm...i might smell a special "The Nany" reunion where the opening number is a happily married Fran, with grand children, is now eating bagels with Barbra in her own Long Island home...
Except that Barbra was ho hum when Fran was gushing about devoting an entire hour to her. She flatly used egotistical as an excuse not to watch it. That was cutting and probably hurtful to Fran.
No, I think that was a very honest response from Barbra. Who would normally sit down and watch a TV show, dedicated to flattering you over and over again?
Wonderful interview! And now I understand why she is that big star she is, and why you never, ever grow out of your admiration for her.She is truthful! I love her( and Fran too).
I enjoyed this interview so much!! Barbra Streisand is a brilliant, multi-talented, gifted woman who looks for solutions to life's challenges because she cares enough to follow through! She's generous for causes that matter, not just for the present, but looks ahead to set into motion a plan that works!! Thank you, Barbra for all you have given to us over the years, by setting an example for us to follow to achieve our dreams for ourselves and for the world to become better! Thank you, Fran Drescher for leading an interesting interview and asking wonderful questions that we all wanted to learn about!! It was wonderful!!
Fran Drescher crushes this interview. She's reverential and professional, honest and respectful, commanding and deferential, inquisitive and receptive, witty and relaxed while centered and solemn... absolutely great interview. Kudos, Madame President!- ditto that!! You should do a 2nd part on 60 minutes! ♥♥
Barbara is an amazing artist and woman. My friend Louis in the 80s absolutely loved her singing. We were listening to rock and he listened to Barbara he took his life in the early 90s I miss him horribly but every time I think of him I listen to Barbara the tears come but I feel comfort. Ty Barbara for being you. ❤
Pure magic to see these two brilliant people together! Recently watched the Fiddler dream episode of The Nanny, where afterwards Fran says, “Who cares about Bubby Sophie, NOW, if BARBRA had come to you in a dream!?! That would mean something!”
Fran was always classy & kept her cloths on,so did Barbara . No need to show all of their curves to be appreciated for her spectacular talent a gift from God
I loved hearing these two highly accomplished women talk about women in the business, not to mention Barbra's story alone. Excellent interview! Thank you!!!
There will never be another Babs. Every word is golden. Every note from her voice is sacred. I hope she releases another twenty albums before she leaves us. Huge love to you dear Barbra.
I’ve NEVER enjoyed an audio book so much! She sounds just like she’s sitting with you chatting with a cup of tea! Soooooo interesting! And I love her humility. She’s amazing in her work and all of her intuition that she puts into it. She’s not going to read this, I’m sure, but I have to express my gratitude. Great interview!
One of Barbra's best interviews! She is comfortable with herself finally! Fran was the perfect person to do this interview, glimpses of Barbara Walters flashed by!
How wonderful was Ms. Fran as an interviewer. She asked great questions as she received great answers as well from Ms. Streisand. Their conversation was very engaging!
I can't call this an interview. It is lovely, genuine conversation... I think someone commented below "a chat"... between two intelligent artists over a cup of tea! Fran guided the conversation with gracious style. The respect between Fran and Barbra is astounding!
I really love this interview. Fran is so gorgeous with that 5 million dollar smile. Love the hair too. Great job as head of SAG. You are a good leader and wonderfull actress and director. Barbra is just so full of wisdom. I've learned so much from her. The way she approaches directing and acting. The principles which can be applied in many different areas of your life. Great voice. Director, Actress, and beyond. Also your son Jason is blowing me away with his new music. I can feel his soul when I experience his music. I feel his humanity. You must be so proud. Barbra Thank You for your talent and just for being your authentic self. That's something I'm learning now to embrace my authentic self warts and all no matter what they say. Congrat's the honor is so well deserved. I'v e been a life long admirer of your work.....Love & Light
Fran does a helluva good job interviewing my beloved Barbra. This made me more curious about Drescher on Wikipedia---- what a survivor of horrid traumas. Two strong women!!!
Barbara knew , it was sweet she said that at the end of the interview. I hope others see your post and read Wikipedia’s synopsis if they don’t know much about her. I’m happy she is president she gave a wonderful speech at awards as did Barbara.
I’ve just watched two smart, beautiful and professional women talking deep about interesting things and how the industry should be. I think Barbra got impressed by Fran as she didn't expect someone talking in the same terms of knowledge and intellect
Agree. It was my first ever audiobook and I can’t imagine any other one topping this, so I’m listening again. It is worth every penny. It also got me through a tough time with a lot on my mind on my long commute.
What stands out the most every time I hear Barbra speak is, that her voice hasn't aged, not one bit. It sounds exactly the same as when she was in her '30's. That is remarkable. She has the most comforting cadences in her manner of speaking. Congratulation to an amazing Woman!
This could easily have been an hour or two long! Like Barbra said at the end of the interview, we could go on for forever talking… this was such a nice off-the-cuff, down to earth discussion! Excellent interview. Thank you Barbra and Fran! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
So glad to see Barbra in a new interview. She had said that after her memoir/autobiograghy was released, she wouldn't have to do another interview. Also great to hear her speaking voice so clear both at the SAG's and in this interview. Looking forward to her new recording album. May she always be in great voice!
I love that Fran is here with Barbra... made me teary - possibly because I felt her heartache when as the Nanny, Fran missed seeing or being with Barbra... wonderful
I was 100% glued to this wonderful interview. I’m so happy Fran got to meet and interview this wonderful beautiful talented woman. Fran did an awesome job! I watch the Nanny every week night on Cozy tv and I love the episode when she’s pregnant and in the hospital as Barbra was at her house and she leaves the hospital to go home to meet Barbra and Max calls her and she hears Barbra singing. Even though Barbra wasn’t there in real life cuz of her very busy schedule I still felt so bad for Fran lol and the final episode they played The way we were as Fran thinks about her past and how she got where she was and had her pink cosmetology case. Love this interview and both of these amazing intelligent talented women! ❤️❤️
I just loved how Barbra acknowledged that she could walk on water bc Fran had that line on The Nanny! 😹 It broke my heart to know that she hasn’t watched the show yet but I’m sure she’ll have a blast soon when she does! 😻
Barbra just simply remarkable on so many levels! Such a talent! Saw her live in Sydney 2000, Fran Drescher a great interviewer, this was so enjoyable to watch!….
I never watched The Nanny, but I sure love Fran. This interview is one of the best I have ever watched. Barbara Streisand is a legend, and Fran was a delight.
It is so nice to see Fran and Barbra chatting together. Yes, I say chatting not interviewing? It's so real! I've followed Barbra since I was a teenager! She's wonderful at everything she does, so intelligent, funny, talented... I'm listening to her book and The experience is like She's sitting in my living room having coffee or tea with her.
Fantastic interview. Fran had a wonderful conversation with Barbra and maybe after all these years of Fran idolizing her, for lack of a better word, they will be friends. I loved when Barbra closed the interview telling Fran that there is a lot behind Fran’s laugh and she is sure they will meet again. I sure would like to think so. One more thing, as Fran said, Barbra’s audiobook is 48 hours. I read her entire book and listened to the entire audiobook. I felt I had made a friend. I miss hearing her stories now. You would have thought 48 hours would have been enough!
Two of my all time favorites together at last! Oh how I wish my late husband of 40 years were here to see this, but he must be smiling in heaven now. Thank you for this wonderful interview.
Have been both a Fran fan and Barbra fan from the first time I learned of them. Fran has always been gorgeous but has never looked so beautiful, and Barbra shines at being simply Barbra. I think you two should run with this. It's already a hit!.
Finally, an interview with some depth to it, talking about life, life's career nuances and perspective shifts that are thr differences that made (and make) a difference. I grow so tired of predictable, skimming the surface style interviews; they offer pablum instead of any resl sustenance. This interview offers real meat, potatoes, a side and dessert and tea with conversation after. Thank you, each, for being vulnerable and giving in these segments, what you did, worked and we are the benefactors.
Fantastic interview!! Fran is an exceptional interviewer. It’s very difficult to interview a person and get inside the person and what they are thinking and feeling. Fran really hit the mark. Obviously Barbra is very intelligent and I loved listening to her but I owe it to Fran asking the right questions.
I grew up with parents who played Barbra’s albums in our apartment. Then when I was a teenager I loved Barbra in A Star is Born, and Evergreen over the radio. Nice interview with two women I adore.
Excellent interview. Fran is not only an astute, great interviewer and listener, but how she generalizes the info Barbra is sharing toward today’s situations and the plight of women is masterful.
Well done! I loved watching The Nanny. I enjoyed Barbara's movies. But this interview made me like these two even more. I listened & most importantly, I learned. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this very thoughtful conversation. To be privy to Barbra's thinking behind the scenes as both an actor and a director on those certain movies was very special. I didn't know to what extent she helped bring 1986 about in our democracy and to stop nuclear proliferation. We could use that moment once again. What she said about women getting too strong (paraphrasing) and getting punished by the move to limit women's freedoms again was insightful. This woman lived her truth her whole life. What a gift to us who were watching and enjoying her vulnerability, talent and humor! The interview/chat showed that Fran had clearly done her homework and her love of and admiration for Barbra and her body of work. I loved having a quick review of Barbra's entire career. I enjoyed everything she's ever done! What a body of work! ❤❤❤
Two EXTREMELY STRONG WOMEN in one room showing, and listening to one another with respect. Much love was shown by fran. I'm ever so proud of both of them. DADO CON MUCHO RESPECTO Y AMOR!! FROM A FOREVER FAN
What a great interview. Full of pertinent questions and truly insightful answers and observations. Two extremely intelligent and interesting women! Thanks for sharing this.
The audiobook was AMAZING! Hearing her tell the stories was like being her best friend for 48 hours! I was actually sorry it ended! I’m also a HUGE fan of Barbra’s so it was great hearing the stories behind some of my favorite movies: The Way We Were, A Star is Born, What’s Up Doc, The Main Event, Just to name a few.
What a great interview! How I wish there was a Part II. I could listen to these two women forever - they are both fascinating, talented women of such great intelligence and depth.
After all these years Fran finally got the chance to meet Barbra
Exactly ❤😂😘😘
Miss Fine will meet Barbra again ☀️☀️☀️💕😍
She's known her for a long time, she met her in the 1990's. Or are speaking of her Nanny character?
@@ReneRamirez-d9h yes, she means Fran Fine 😂❤
Yes lol but they’ve meet before during the nanny! She didn’t go to the show, but they’ve met outside
Fran Drescher crushes this interview. She's reverential and professional, honest and respectful, commanding and deferential, inquisitive and receptive, witty and relaxed while centered and solemn... absolutely great interview. Kudos, Madame President!
And, she is absolutely beautiful! More now than she was in her younger days when she was also beautiful.
And you had to love that laugh and even Barbara said behind that laugh there's a brain something to that effect so wonderful for Fran
Way to go Fran‼️
Well said! Ditto
Are you kidding me, she sounds like she has a toilet brush stuck down her throat, she is awful
If you know Fran as a woman, an actress, or The Nanny, you know that she bloody loves Barbra. I am sure this was sweet, oh so sweet for her. Phenomenal women and a great conversation. Fran is doing it!
I've never been so excited to watch an interview! 🎉
My name is Barbra
🎉I respect Barbra so very very much ,and all she has done to make our world better. Fran is so cool,and looks great.

Fran is a BOSS! She fought for her organization and her fellow actors to get what they deserved. Now, from this interview, Fran finally got to sit down with her idol and just talk like women from the neighborhood. Queens & Brooklyn baby! I loved it . ❤
Women who have achieved greatly for both themselves and other women.
They come from the same place, heart and Soul.
One of the best interviews Striesand has ever done, much thanks to Fran. Fran made her feel so comfortable and at ease in her values and choices and like Barbra said, behind Fran's laughter is a deep thinking woman. I loved this interview. Kudos Fran Drescher....
Completely agree with you. Somehow, Barbra was so relaxed. Fran is glowing because happiness and content.
the first time i see barbra interested in answering.
Agree 100%
Beautifully stated.
Thank You.

I don't think most people will ever realize just how iconic this interview is. The word gets thrown around a lot, but this is DECADES in the making.
I am realizing it ❤

Absolutely...
Oh please ... Streisand gave her a whopping 30 mins.
Sorry, but that does not make it Iconic. Please stop diluting that word. No one younger than about 40 knows what that word truly means or what it means to truly be an icon. This interview aint it.

This is the most incredible interview I've ever seen with two brilliant women.
As a child, young teenager, grow up, my dream was to go to a Barbra Streisand concert.
Only problem was, I lived in The Netherlands and going to the USA was something we could not afford.
Then for my 40 birthday (this was 17 years ago!)
My husband surprised me with tickets to a Barbra Streisand concert in England.

It was amazing!!!!
I just sat there in tears al night.
To me, it was (outside of our 3 kids) the best experience in my life.
After the concert I told my husband;
“I can die in peace now, my biggest wish has come true💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I truly feel blessed that I got to see her life🥰🥰🥰
Aw! What a great story! Glad your dreams came true!
This is so sweet. What a wonderful story about a dream that really did come true.
Props to your husband! Good job!
I’m happy for you!
What a beautiful husband you have!!! Such a wonderful gift because you desired it so badly and he made it important enough to make your dream a reality ❤❤❤❤
As a LONG-Time The Nanny Fan, I´m screaming for this moment! I hope Barbra gets to see the series
That’s all I keep thinking too- I hope she sees it and understands what a huge part of the show Fran’s love for Barbara was!
me too... I know she will be flattered.
Oh please ... you really buying that?
I love this interview because Fran asked very good and interesting questions of Barbra. Then she got out of Barbra way and let her answer the questions without interrupting. Excellent interview. I also think Barbra enjoyed this interview because the question were intelligent.

She didn’t sound impressed at all. She’s above anybody that’s how she portrays herself. I’m talking about Barbra Streisand.
@@carolyncardone-dy5uuThe fact that Barbra didn't watch the Nanny is a deal breaker for me and this interview

Fran looks great with that hairstyle!
Agreed. It’s old Hollywood. Maybe Barbra can visit Fran’s hairdresser.
Wouldn’t it be great if she came with a Nanny high to the sky hairdo though!!
Classic elegance. 💎
Fran is totally rocking her look, skin, hair. You go Fran Love her :*) Sixty six at that!!! Barbara is a legend :*)
I met Fran years ago in Los Angeles at a fund-raiser and she is truly beautiful
There will never be another Babs. Every word is golden. Every note from her voice is sacred. I hope she releases another twenty albums before she leaves us. Huge love to you dear Barbra.

The audio book was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
A true memoir!
I DREAM she will do more audio books!
Agree. It was my first ever audiobook and I can’t imagine any other one topping this, so I’m listening again. It is worth every penny. It also got me through a tough time with a lot on my mind on my long commute.

This could easily have been an hour or two long! Like Barbra said at the end of the interview, we could go on for forever talking… this was such a nice off-the-cuff, down to earth discussion! Excellent interview. Thank you Barbra and Fran! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Two fabulously gifted, gracious and glorious women. Thank you.
I just love Fran Dresher. The enthusiasm, passion and wisdom from two quintessentially lovely and capable women.
Excellent interview. Fran and Barbra are two very intelligent women.
I love you Fran. The Nanny is the best Show in the world. I've watched it 100 times.
Marvelous interview which allows Streisand to reveal her substance and depth as a creative artist and as an involved citizen.
So glad to see Barbra in a new interview. She had said that after her memoir/autobiograghy was released, she wouldn't have to do another interview. Also great to hear her speaking voice so clear both at the SAG's and in this interview. Looking forward to her new recording album. May she always be in great voice!
I'm also so thrilled that the leaked she will publish new records😍😍😍.
I read that she had retired … so it’s very exciting to she is making an album!
And great health!
I love that Fran is here with Barbra... made me teary - possibly because I felt her heartache when as the Nanny, Fran missed seeing or being with Barbra... wonderful
Wonderful interview! Barbra is so open and real about herself. It’s like you’re in her living room talking to her. What a woman!
Two strong, amazing women. Delightful and deep conversation. Thank you.
Finally Fran meets her Queen! Fran from Queens and Barbra from Brooklyn...good on them both
I was 100% glued to this wonderful interview. I’m so happy Fran got to meet and interview this wonderful beautiful talented woman. Fran did an awesome job!
I watch the Nanny every week night on Cozy tv and I love the episode when she’s pregnant and in the hospital as Barbra was at her house and she leaves the hospital to go home to meet Barbra and Max calls her and she hears Barbra singing. Even though Barbra wasn’t there in real life cuz of her very busy schedule I still felt so bad for Fran lol and the final episode they played The way we were as Fran thinks about her past and how she got where she was and had her pink cosmetology case.
Love this interview and both of these amazing intelligent talented women! ❤️❤️
I just loved how Barbra acknowledged that she could walk on water bc Fran had that line on The Nanny! 😹 It broke my heart to know that she hasn’t watched the show yet but I’m sure she’ll have a blast soon when she does! 😻
The fact that Barbra confirmed she's making a new record made my year
OMG! Fran finally got to meet Barbra!
She's like buttah.
I saw Barbra 2016 in Brooklyn nyc in concert !! Just wow!! My dream come true!!Mazel Tov Barbra !!! God Bless!!
Barbra’s speaking voice is as beautiful as always❤️
Barbra just simply remarkable on so many levels! Such a talent! Saw her live in Sydney 2000, Fran Drescher a great interviewer, this was so enjoyable to watch!….
OMG I love these two! They are one of the rare humble & down-to-earth actresses. 😍
I never watched The Nanny, but I sure love Fran. This interview is one of the best I have ever watched. Barbara Streisand is a legend, and Fran was a delight.
It is so nice to see Fran and Barbra chatting together. Yes, I say chatting not interviewing? It's so real! I've followed Barbra since I was a teenager! She's wonderful at everything she does, so intelligent, funny, talented... I'm listening to her book and The experience is like She's sitting in my living room having coffee or tea with her.
Oh my God. At about 13 minites in, hard hitting questions and answers. Two brilliant women. Thank you! ❤❤
To live long enough to see Fran meet Barbra!
Yes❤
"You live long enough, you see everything" (Gracie)
Finally...
Absolutely Brilliant! I was touched by the soulful authenticity of this conversation. Thank you!
This is a real treasure… The audio version of Streisand’s book is absolutely phenomenal ..❤
Fantastic interview. Fran had a wonderful conversation with Barbra and maybe after all these years of Fran idolizing her, for lack of a better word, they will be friends. I loved when Barbra closed the interview telling Fran that there is a lot behind Fran’s laugh and she is sure they will meet again. I sure would like to think so. One more thing, as Fran said, Barbra’s audiobook is 48 hours. I read her entire book and listened to the entire audiobook. I felt I had made a friend. I miss hearing her stories now. You would have thought 48 hours would have been enough!
Two of my all time favorites together at last! Oh how I wish my late husband of 40 years were here to see this, but he must be smiling in heaven now. Thank you for this wonderful interview.
He saw this!
Your husband is seeing this legendary interview in heaven 🙏😇. Sorry for the loss of your husband. Fran Drescher and Barbara Stristand
Have been both a Fran fan and Barbra fan from the first time I learned of them. Fran has always been gorgeous but has never looked so beautiful, and Barbra shines at being simply Barbra. I think you two should run with this. It's already a hit!.
Finally, an interview with some depth to it, talking about life, life's career nuances and perspective shifts that are thr differences that made (and make) a difference. I grow so tired of predictable, skimming the surface style interviews; they offer pablum instead of any resl sustenance. This interview offers real meat, potatoes, a side and dessert and tea with conversation after. Thank you, each, for being vulnerable and giving in these segments, what you did, worked and we are the benefactors.
I’ve never seen her so relaxed in an interview. Good on you Fran Drescher!
Barbra Streisand and The Nanny... a dream come true! ❤
Fran Drescher looks divine. The best hair style I have seen on her, ever!!
She kind of looks like Bess Myerson when she was young and beautiful. If you're old enough to even know who she is!
I am old enough at 61. Bess was a beautiful model and actress. You are correct in the likeness..@@marymagdalene3004
She got one of the best interviews of babs ever
Fantastic interview!! Fran is an exceptional interviewer. It’s very difficult to interview a person and get inside the person and what they are thinking and feeling. Fran really hit the mark. Obviously Barbra is very intelligent and I loved listening to her but I owe it to Fran asking the right questions.
I agree.
This interview was beautiful!! Barbra you are inspiring… thank you for all that you are and for all that you have done. I love you forever. ❤️❤️
Hey Franny! I've worked with Fran, she's a sweetheart. So proud of her for this great interview and the great job she did during the strikes.
If therexwere few wemen like Barbara, the World could get peace....thank you for being❤
I grew up with parents who played Barbra’s albums in our apartment. Then when I was a teenager I loved Barbra in A Star is Born, and Evergreen over the radio. Nice interview with two women I adore.
Barbra has so much to say, about life, her work in the industry of movies, and amazing artist, storyteller.
Excellent interview. Fran is not only an astute, great interviewer and listener, but how she generalizes the info Barbra is sharing toward today’s situations and the plight of women is masterful.
Well done! I loved watching The Nanny. I enjoyed Barbara's movies. But this interview made me like these two even more. I listened & most importantly, I learned. Thank you!
Fran is amazing---what a terrific job FRAN!!
I really enjoyed this very thoughtful conversation. To be privy to Barbra's thinking behind the scenes as both an actor and a director on those certain movies was very special. I didn't know to what extent she helped bring 1986 about in our democracy and to stop nuclear proliferation. We could use that moment once again. What she said about women getting too strong (paraphrasing) and getting punished by the move to limit women's freedoms again was insightful.
This woman lived her truth her whole life. What a gift to us who were watching and enjoying her vulnerability, talent and humor!
The interview/chat showed that Fran had clearly done her homework and her love of and admiration for Barbra and her body of work. I loved having a quick review of Barbra's entire career. I enjoyed everything she's ever done! What a body of work! ❤❤❤
Terrific! Wish it was 2 hours longer!!!
Two EXTREMELY STRONG WOMEN in one room showing, and listening to one another with respect. Much love was shown by fran. I'm ever so proud of both of them.
DADO CON MUCHO RESPECTO Y AMOR!! FROM A FOREVER FAN
What a great interview. Full of pertinent questions and truly insightful answers and observations. Two extremely intelligent and interesting women! Thanks for sharing this.
The audiobook was AMAZING! Hearing her tell the stories was like being her best friend for 48 hours! I was actually sorry it ended! I’m also a HUGE fan of Barbra’s so it was great hearing the stories behind some of my favorite movies: The Way We Were, A Star is Born, What’s Up Doc, The Main Event, Just to name a few.
Fran had great questions and very attentive. Her compliments to Barbara Streisand so generous and genuine.
What a great interview! How I wish there was a Part II. I could listen to these two women forever - they are both fascinating, talented women of such great intelligence and depth.
