Happy Birthday ~ Barbra Streisand

Acclaimed singer and actress Barbra Streisand is celebrating her birthday today. Her career is stellar and she still makes appearances at special events. I recall an interview where she revealed how terrified she was with performing before an audience. I'd say Barbra got over her fright once she stepped on stage, a songbird indeed. My favorite film is The Way We Were with dreamy Robert Redford. The title song for the movie is sung by Barbra Streisand and it's beautiful. The video has great scenes from the movie.

Talk about being in love, Barbra's character truly was in love and the ending scene is touching. The lyric "what's too painful to remember, we simply choose to forget" is spot on ~Happy Birthday Barbra!
