Barbra Streisand: I used to be beautiful
Barbra Streisand thinks she was “quite beautiful” as a young woman. The singer/actress says 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.”
Recent reports claimed Barbra is still hot for Robert Redford.
The pair played lovers in the 1973 film The Way We Were and insiders say Streisand — who’s now married to actor James Brolin — realized her feelings for Redford when the pair gave their first interview together on The Oprah Winfrey Show on November 16.
“Seeing Bob again stirred up all those red-hot feelings Barbra has for him,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.
“She told a friend, ‘I’ve always loved him, but he got away!’
“Barbra has always carried a torch for Bob. She fell in love with him while working together.”
