During a recent chat with New York Times, Streisand shares insight into her new memoir, “My Name is Barbra.” She discusses her fashion in the book, emphasizing the freedom she now feels, no longer caring what other people think about her clothes.
At 81, the “Funny Girl” star expressed her belief that “people should express themselves and wear whatever they feel like on any given day. And that has nothing to do with age.”
Looking back on her early career, she mentions being careful not to dress sensually, noting, “I was too afraid to be seen that way at the time. Now I’m too old to care.”
Barbra Streisand Says She Went With ‘Today’s Style’ In ’60s & ’70s
Although Streisand didn’t wear overtly provocative clothes in the 1960s and 1970s, the “Yentl” actress asserted her individuality in her own way, revealing that she “just followed the style of the day.”
She explained: “I have other images in my head. I was inspired by old movies, paintings in museums, and Sarah Bernhardt’s great posters of Mucha that I first saw when I was a teenager.
Streisand emphasized that she attended her first performance in a NYC piano bar, and created her own look, such as “a high-necked, long-sleeved Persian vest from the turn of the century.”
“I don’t relate to the conventional type of dress that most nightclub singers wear,” he said.
During the conversation, Streisand emphasized that women’s clothing should not define the perception of them. She echoed the sentiments of her book, stating: “Why can’t women be successful and attractive, strong and sensitive, intelligent and sensual?”
Hollywood star hasn’t appeared in a movie in 11 years
In an interview with People magazine earlier that month, Streisand revealed that she had not taken on a film role in 11 years and expressed doubts about having the energy for more. “No, not really. I mean, in 2009 I fought for the right to play ‘Gypsy,’” he said.
The “Way We Were” singer reflected on the challenges of navigating a film project, adding: “In other words, it was exhausting, trying to come up with the structure of the film and then it didn’t happen.”
He continued: “If I could have made my film, I would never have written a book. I have such a good film to make, which means it’s about what I’m interested in, a very interesting subject that… Why did I only make 19 films in my lifetime me?”
“I had so many movies I wanted to make, and then I got lazy. I went, ‘Oh yeah, to do this one, I’m going to have to have all this equipment for period costumes. This one, I’m going to have to live in Arkansas to do this one. ‘ I don’t know. It’s complicated, but I’m complicated, I guess… I get lazy,” he added.

In conversation with CaretakerStreisand admits that her strict attitude has troubled many men throughout her career.
“I don’t want to stay where I am,” he said. “I started aspiring to be an actor and I started acting through my singing. But then that is not enough. I want to shape something. I want to write. I want to direct. I want to produce. I want to make a decision. And that got me into trouble.”
The octogenarian emphasizes that being “a woman who controls men is scary.” She added, “It scares other women! They are not ready for that.” Despite criticism, he remained unapologetically outspoken, inspired by George Bernard Shaw’s quote: “He who speaks too much truth will be hanged.”
