Barbra Streisand still in talks to play Mama Rose

Gypsy movie starring Barbra Streisand to hit the big screen! Barbra Streisand might still get to play Mama Rose on the big screen. According to Entertainment Weekly magazine, studio Universal is still in talks to acquire a Gypsy adaptation starring the Hollywood legend.

Previous reports claimed the project had been nixed, but lyricist Stephen Sondheim and book writer Arthur Laurents are reportedly still on board.

Barbra recently admitted she regrets worrying about the way she looks, as she has now grown to appreciate her “strange face”.

“Recently, doing DVDs, I’ve had to look at myself in old movies or on album covers… I thought, I really looked good there. Why didn’t I know that then?” she said.

“But I do have a strange face. It changes so much from angle to angle. Sometimes I think I really did look quite beautiful and a lot of times I looked really bad. It’s a shame. But I’m not going to cry over it. I’m trying to be in the moment, I’m enjoying my life.”
