Barbra Streisand's Bio in the "Funny Girl" Playbill

I'm getting ready to hang some Barbra vinyl albums in my office along with an original Playbill of "Funny Girl" from 1964. Looking through the "Who's Who in the Cast" section, I was amused by Barbra's bio, so I thought I'd share it here.

"In addition to having appeared off-Broadway, on-Broadway and away-from-Broadway in nightclubs, in television and on the concert stage, Barbra Streisand is the recipient of Cue Magazine's Entertainer of the Year Award. A top recording star, a talented interior decorator, dress designer and portrait painter she also plays field hockey. Her performance in the musical "I Can Get It For You Wholesale" stopped the show and was much admired by the critics, the public, and the show's leading men, Elliot Gould, who married her. Barbra is a follower of Eastern philosophy and cooking, but also favors TV dinners on occasion. She is a renowned collector of antique clothes, shoes and fans. Her favorite flower is gardenia, since it is the only scent that can never be captured. Her favorite day of the week is Tuesday, since she devotes part of each Tuesday throughout the year to stringing crystal beads which are sold in a Vermont general store. She knows how to make coffee ice cream and to fix her own hair. For more personal information, write to her mother."
