Witness the birth of a movie star as Barbra Streisand makes a screen debut for the ages in this musical spectacular. From humor to pathos, she hits every note as popular 1920s singer-comedian Fanny Brice, a young Jewish New Yorker whose spirit and supernova talent propel her to fame in theĀ Ziegfeld Follies,Ā but whose devotion to an unreliable gambler (a charismatic Omar Sharif) brings drama and heartbreak into her life. Adapted from a hit Broadway show and directed by Hollywood master William Wyler,Ā Funny GirlĀ hits emotional highs in unforgettable performances of songs like āPeopleā and āDonāt Rain on My Paradeāāmoments that won Streisand one of the most richly deserved Best Actress awards in Oscar history.
