Barbra's home is so ordinary, scaled down to normal living. Well, not ordinary, it is so cozy with the fireplace and homemade items. As she said, enough space so they can clean it themselves. Gardening, walking, biking and doing it away from the public eye. How wonderful. Barbra is so down to earth as she talks about her worries, insecurities and fears. She strives for perfection but who doesn't when you are at the helm. A man would be called "strict" and she "hard to work with". Give me a break. She has faced this criticism all of her career and she is doing well. Congratulations Barbra.
We toured the ranch during the short time it was open to the public (for a walking tour and lunch). The FIVE homes were indeed cozy and surprisingly small, but anything but ordinary. Although I wasn't crazy about the them all being different styles, it was impressive the way Jon meshed the different landscapes and grounds all together. But I did see why it never sold; because it was a weird hodgepodge.
Yes, it was a hodgepodge. From a 1930's style black/red/grey/pink Art Deco to a Mediterranean home with a "peach" color scheme, to then a structure that looked like something out of The Hobbit but decorated in a "Southwest" style. It looked like they bought 5 completely different style homes in a neighborhood, but just connected them with paths and landscape .. and of course that's exactly what they did. More than anything else, it was VERY 1970's with tons of macrame' and wicker with the color schemes of the 70's, harvest gold, avocado, and burnt orange. We immediately thought "who would buy this?" (for $150M), and of course no one did. That's why they ended up donating it (for the tax write off). But that wasn't important; what "the ranch" really did was gave Barbra the opportunity to cut her teeth on building, designing, and decorating. From the looks of her current masterpiece, it paid off.
@@Mike-fp5rc - I's also read, many years ago, that she 'donated' it to the state of California. But recently, I read that someone DID buy it. And then they re-sold it. And then all the homes were demolished, and someone built that enormous monstrosity, which has been labeled as 'the most expensive home in the country". $500 million!!!! But no ne would buy it. So it was reduced in price and now I'm not sure who owns it. So sad that Barbra's history was torn down. But Barbra's place in Malibu is absolutely beautiful, and I'm sure she's glad to be there now.
@@e.m.tanner179 I believe you are referring to the her former Holmby Hills (301 Carolwood Dr.) home. In it's heyday her neighbors were Walt Disney, Hugh Hefner (Playboy mansion), Clint Eastwood, Gregory Peck, Burt Reynolds, Rod Stewart. Someone bought Barbra's "Mon Reve" estate, tore it down, then bought two other properties and combined them to build some insanely huge McMansion selling for a few hundred million.
Remembering my 16 year old self back in 1976, when I was just realizing who was with my sexuality and being gay, thinking what a gorgeous sexy man Jon was. It would be interesting to know the last time these two saw each other? 😊😊
Me too! I'm looking for a high resolution copy. I'd love some clear photos of her living room and the entire space - I've obsessed about her decorating since I watched this as a little girl in 1976.
Thanks for sharing this, it made me more in love with BSB, she is a simple person and like everybody she wants a life that she will be happy and I.m so glad that she is, still in that kind of life she built for herself!
Barbra Streisand is a most interesting person. I never get tired of listening to her speak. So intelligent and articulate. Then there's that amazingly powerful singing voice. Range out of this world. And...may I just say... Jon Peters is one beautiful man.
I had that same impression. Also, his manner is Jewish - quick witted and knows how to show respect for a woman - at least in public. Very self-confident and knows how to make money which are very good attributes to have. And, his attraction to the movie business - um, I mean, all the signs are there. @@user-zy3zd3sx2d
Barbra has a masculine side which many Taurus women do & Jon had a Gemini situation where he was extremely masculine but also had a lot of good taste & sense of estetics which could be considered feminine. But the chemistry was generated by the power play of strength meeting strength which is what you could call volatile sexual energy.
Say what you will about Jon Peters, Barbra’s heyday was during the time they were together. He made her “hip”-steered and stretched her toward new directions.
Here after the JRE podcast. The sheer audacity of Walters to ask Jon if he was a hustler for dating Streisand. The kind of boomer shit that you often face by older women ,especially cause they find you doing something they believe is leagues above you. Good on Jon to make himself precisely clear.
Bawa Walters always had an ax to grind with Streisand, and I think it all stems from the ONE time she agreed to give a celebrity full access /approval to editing and vowed to never do it again. But at the time she wanted the interview and really had no choice.
You mentioned this is from your personal collection of VHS tapes. Is there any chance you also have the portion where Walters interviews the carters? I would love to get my hands on that and am having trouble tracking it down
Peters was the worst thing that ever happened to Streisand. Her career was meteoric up to the mid-70s, with a run of films that was an awesome display of versatility - two or three of the greatest comedy performances of all time (Funny Girl, What's Up Doc? and The Owl and the Pussycat), a great dramatic turn in The Way We Were, a subtle, realistic (and under-rated) performance in Up The Sandbox, and the unparalleled musical performances in Funny Girl, Dolly & Clear Day. Nobody else has ever really equalled that display of talent. If she'd continued in that vein she'd now be considered alongside Streep as an actress. But then it all went to crap with Peters (aided by Sue Mengers), pushing her into projects for the money, and for his own advancement. A Star is Born was hugely successful (and she's good in it), but it was also a vanity project that cheapened her image, damn nearly ruined her reputation (thanks to battles with director Frank Pierson that were largely provoked by Peters). That was followed by The Main Event, a lame attempt to re-capture the magic of What's Up Doc? Then All Night Long, which she did purely for a huge payday and as a favour to Mengers. Her career recovered somewhat when she ditched Peters (and Mengers) and directed Yentl. But she never regained the momentum or the goodwill she had in the early 70s. Peters, of course, successfully launched himself as a Hollywood mogul off his association with Streisand then went a demented power spree that ended in bitterness and recriminations all around. Not to mention multiple allegations of sexual assault and several massive payouts. He was Weinstein before Weinstein. An utter creep.
I don't like the Jon Peters afro, but Barbra was becoming "fuddy-duddy" appealing to only older people. A Star is Born made her appealing to a young audience and she finally became a rich mega star. So, if Jon Peters enhanced her career in this regard, then kudos to him for his influence... plus, she was obviously very in love with him, which spawned the song "Evergreen," another Oscar for Barbra🎉😂❤
Barbra was with Jon Peters for almost 10 years for a reason. He was gorgeous, aggressive, positive and helped her do what she wanted to do, both professionally and personally. She needed a man to help Produce ASIB, her movie making schooling, before she took on 'Yentl' a movie she had in her head since 1968. I am glad they parted because he really was a Hustler and wanted to sign Barbra to crazy movie and singing contracts. He wanted to exploit Barbra while coking it up with Peter Gruber. Barbra found better!
Leave it to Barbara Walters to hammer away with every condescending remark she could muster, to demean Peters and so many other guests she feels fit to insult or steer. The endless interruptions between Walters and toy boy Peters was too much. Watching Streisand and Kristofferson sing Evergreen, I could see why someone could easily fall in love with her.
I just resd her memoir “my name is Barbra” -it is sooo unteresting. Of course she broke up with John Peters and is happily married to James Brolin bi] now and is very happy.
Thought Id seen every interview with Barbra... then I came across this. I just finished her book a few weeks ago.. There is a chapter about the relationship with Jon, and the ranch. It's annoying how Barbara Walters keep referring to Barbra , as Barbra Streisand every time. Why not just Barbra. He knows who she is. Weird.
Streisand was the biggest movie and recording star on the planet during this time, and you can see the pressure and the effect that it was having on her. Evergreen was already #1 before the movie even came out, and when A Star i Born opened on Christmas Day, and it was a blockbuster of mammoth proportions (even though the critics ripped it apart). I agreed with the critics and never considered this as one of Barbra's greatest acting moments and it was obvious that KK was impaired out of his gourd throughout the entire movie. ASIB is mainly worth seeing for the concert sequences, as well as a glimpse into the lives of musical superstars.
I'm only about 3 min into the I interview & I liked reading this. Meanwhile ASIB is one of my absolute all time favorite movies. I loved the storyline, chemistry, music...almost everything about it from the day it came out until now. I still cry at the end and I've watched it over a dozen times.
Evergreen and the album were released the same week in November 1976, the film opened in December, and the song/album hit number 1 around February 1977.
Because Jon Peters wanted Barbra to tour,and she wanted to make YENTL! I went to the YENTL PREMIERE at the CINERAMA DOME.My sister got a picture with Jon Peters,Gregory Peck. No pictures with Streisand! It was fun!
There was also, sadly, physical abuse. Witnessed by staff, there were times when Jon threw a plate at her and punched her several times. They had a loving but volatile relationship. And as Wade David said below, they had two very different opinions about what Barbra should do with her career.
@@JeffBazell oh no. I can't see Barbra letting anyone touch her. Not that tough girl from Brooklyn. At 17:53, she either squeezed or clawed him into an apology.😏 My girl.
Why does barbara Walters ask if they are married and that really isn't the point.And let's talk about the work that they're doing together and barbara walters is an awful interviewe
I really hate the way Barbara Walters.Does her interviews because she is a woman and she would not like to be treated the way she treats barbara streisand. Barbara walters wants things to be perfect too. Barbara walters just wants to stir up trouble. Well barbra Is still Alive and walters is not so strice and gets the last word.
He was abusive She said so on the outtakes of A Star is Born She said they fought like animals! She also had an affair with Kris Kristofferson during their relationship...wow!! So BS and Peters were abusive that's why they never married!
Untrue. She’s very fair in her recollections and generous about why she was attracted to him. She also explains why it didn’t end well. But she still gives him credit for certain things! Im not defending him, I’m saying your comment is untrue. She would be the first person to agree.
Who’s here after Licorice Pizza and Bradley Cooper’s crazy performance? Haha
Their voices surprisingly sound very similar!
I didn't understand that whole Licorice Pizza thing at all.
That and superman lives

I’m watching because Barbara Walters passed.
Back in 73 I installed a water bed at that house .
Did he threaten to choke your little brother to death if you f*cked up his house ?
I hope you have formed a family with your beautiful friend
How’s the pinball business going?

Very cool. ❤
“You’re gonna miss me honey…” 😆🤣 I wonder if Jon ever thinks of that now that Barbra has been happily married to Jim Brolin since 1998 !
Who is here after You Must Remember This podcast?!!

Barbra's home is so ordinary, scaled down to normal living. Well, not ordinary, it is so cozy with the fireplace and homemade items. As she said, enough space so they can clean it themselves. Gardening, walking, biking and doing it away from the public eye. How wonderful. Barbra is so down to earth as she talks about her worries, insecurities and fears. She strives for perfection but who doesn't when you are at the helm. A man would be called "strict" and she "hard to work with". Give me a break. She has faced this criticism all of her career and she is doing well. Congratulations Barbra.

RIP Barbara Walters. This was from her very 1st prime-time interview special, which also included a chat with Jimmy & Roslyn Carter.
Barbra has a masculine side which many Taurus women do & Jon had a Gemini situation where he was extremely masculine but also had a lot of good taste & sense of estetics which could be considered feminine. But the chemistry was generated by the power play of strength meeting strength which is what you could call volatile sexual energy.
Jon Bairo was my very first kiss! He sure grew up!😂

Great answer too, what a humble man

This is right about the time they get their waterbed delivered. Maybe that was Soggy bottom on the phone at 6:02 ?
You mentioned this is from your personal collection of VHS tapes. Is there any chance you also have the portion where Walters interviews the carters? I would love to get my hands on that and am having trouble tracking it down
I think I might have just saved the part with Barbra. But I do remember that BW interviewed the Carters too.
@@annezarra ah well, thanks for your time!
Didn’t buy a word this guy said on JRE but looks like some things check out…
Why is Barbara Walters obsessed with getting people to marry each other?
It's the culture.
She loves relationships. She did that with her friends, her coleagues, She missed that for herself.
😂 that's what Jewish people do!
Barbara Streisand and Bob Dylan both live in Malibu very close in proximity
Ellis, what have you told them??
Continually unimpressed with Walters and she’s at her sexist worst here.

“There are no bad kids, just bad parents.” Wow, Barbara is so judgemental. That’s a trope.
Mumbling Barbara Walters. Can barely understand her.
What a fox !!!!
Walters is a terrible interviewer. Asks ridiculous questions.
Walters never shuts up. Is so gross and tactless and rude .

Why does barbara Walters ask if they are married and that really isn't the point.And let's talk about the work that they're doing together and barbara walters is an awful interviewe
BARBRA WALTERS IS SUCH AN ANNOYING INTERVIEWIER.
She was smart for not marrying him cause he would have took her to the cleaners.
He is worth 300 millions dollars.
He married Pam Anderson. Separated in 12 days. He said she used him to pay of her debts.
