Fans were quick to point out that the gold dress she wore beneath the black blazer is the same gold dress she wore back in 2013, during her concert tour in Europe and Israel. Of course she tried to cover up her 'old hands' with the black gloves, since they didn't match her new younger face.

Her insecurities run deep, and no amount of awards, acclaim or adoration can completely squash them. And they’re just amplified now that she’s old. She’s playing cover up with the glasses, gloves and outfit to minimize her age. I think she looked great and it suited her though.

Instead of just storing my things in the basement, I can make a street of shops and display them,” Streisand told Harpers Bazaar in 2010.
In 2015, it was revealed that Ryan Murphy, the creator of the hit series Glee, alongside some other eminent peers, had visited the house at the invitation of Streisand. In an interview with Vulture, he recalled visiting the mall.
“We had dinner with Barbra and Jim, and Kelly [Preston] and John [Travolta], and Gaga and I,” Murphy said. “And after dinner, she said, ‘Do you want to see the mall?’ And Gaga and I were out of that chair so fast … We went down to the mall and spent an hour down there. She pulled out her collection of gowns from Funny Girl and Hello, Dolly! And then she said, ‘Do you want frozen yoghurt?’

That 2015 invite to Streisand's, which Murphy talks about, is when they were trying to get GYPSY made, with Streisand as 'Mama Rose' and Gaga as 'Gypsy Rose Lee'. Murphy was behind it, and he was supposed to pull it all together to get it made (and direct it, I believe). Travolta was there because she was interested in him playing 'Herbie'.

She made gaffs along the way but from the beginning she was also a humanitarian and political activist. By age 25 she was the most acclaimed and successful person in show business and she maintained her status, dignity and devotion to the good fight. She is feted around the world for her huge talent, and humanitarianism. She’s fucking 81 and look at her! Those of you who don’t know the scope of her life and ridicule her come off as dunderheads. She and Jane Fonda have harnessed their fame for the right side of the human condition. Both have made mistakes, but both forge ahead ignoring the misogyny and cynicism.

Maggie indeed has had a great couple recent decades. But so has Streisand! Sellout on her concert tours and No 1 albums in her 70s. Not shabby.
By the way, I adore Maggie Smith.

Barbra at 82 is really too old for plastic surgery at this point. It would be extremely dangerous and unpredictable after the age of 75 (if not younger).
The uplifting wires are a safer solution, especially if they're only done for an evening. As you all probably know, Lucy used the technique for decades under her bouffant wigs.

Speaking of Gypsy, couldn't she just have done an album, or one of those staged reading/singing things? Age wouldn't be an issue and at least she could have satisfied her desire to perform the role.

R150 She didn't want to just perform the role. She wanted to make her mark as Mama Rose, and make the movie she had envisioned frame by frame in her mind. That was her true desire to tackle this project.

What is so great about Mama Rose? She's a very failed, twisted and unlikable character. I don't know why Barbra would even want to play that role. Rose and Diana Kind have much in common.

When I suggested off the shoulder upthread, it meant clavicle, not a hint of tit or armpit. Shoulder is the older ladies' last illusion of firmness. Think a slightly wider boatneck. She used to be gorge in her off the shoulder cashmere sweaters, that's the inspiration.

r151, I wasn't suggesting Barbra has never had plastic surgery. Of course, she has. Your reading comprehension seems limited.
What I said was that it would be dangerous health-wise past the age of 75 for her (or anyone) to continue to have plastic surgery. Even fillers and botox would be unhealthy and unwise (and probably not make much difference). Hence the wires.
| by Anonymous | reply 168 | February 26, 2024 4:07 PM |
Joy Behar is her age. She says on THE VIEW she still goes for fillers (and I think Botox). It really makes her look much younger than her 81 years. I think the secret is finding a good doctor and not over-doing it.

I recall that Barbra proudly and publicly avoided plastic surgery for years. The, circa 2002 or so, the National Enquirer had candid pics of her in a hospital with her face bandaged up, sucking on a straw. I have to hand it to her, she did stop denying it at that point.

R172 Yes, you are correct. For years she said she couldn't stand needles or anything puncturing her skin (it was the reason she never had pierced ears, she said). She could never 'go under the knife' to have any kind of plastic surgery, she told Larry King. Then when she turned 60, some tabloids ran candids of her with a double chin and jowls. Shortly after that, there were the photos of her leaving the clinic bandaged up.
Now maybe she's never had surgery and gone 'under the knife', but she's definitely has had fillers and Botox.

Bunch of very angry people on this thread picking away at one of the most extraordinary women of her generation. She looked fabulous. Can’t wait to see what most of you look like at 81.
The gold gown beneath the jacket was reworn from one of her concerts. She souped it up with a jacket and signature oversized beret.. She wore reading glasses to see her notes- something she also has done in the last 10 or so years when she receives awards. Many older women do the same-
Surely she has had cosmetic work, but she still is very much herself.
Did DL can depress me. Here is a champion of the right fights putting herself out there for decades using Giorgio given gifts often in the service of resisting injustice.
She was among the very first to publicly speak in support of gay marriage- going back to the early 90s. She did not hesitate to call out Trump for what he was as soon as he got into politics.
She redefined movie stardom and thrived amid a male dominated and misogynist industry.she exercised control and power exactly as men of her stature- no more no less. And then there is her once in a lifetime voice and fierce will to be who she is- a Jewish liberal progressive woman.
Her acceptance was pure class and gratitude.
She is no one’s victim- she is completely comfortable in her own skin, warts and all.

I know my life has been enriched and made more bareable because of her gifts.
It saddens me that she's in the well-deserved victory lap pharse of her career, and may well be exiting the public stage. All I have to say is "Goodbye; Gorgeous."
