Remembering Allison J. Waldman |
|
|
 April
15, 2013 - Allison J. Waldman,
the world's foremost expert on
the career of Barbra Streisand
and my good friend died today at
the age of 56. Allison fought
very hard against a stubborn
cancer that eventually took her.
Allison was a monumental
presence within the Barbra
Streisand fan community. What a
joy it was when Allison finally
met Barbra Streisand during one
of the final months of her life.
More inside.

During
a
visit
to
Israel
in
April
of
1984,
Barbra
endowed
the
Hebrew
University
of
Jerusalem
with
a
building
named
for
her
father,
Emanuel
Streisand.
Today,
the
University
reciprocated
by
presenting
Barbra
with
an
honorary
doctor
of
philosophy
degree.
The
university's
press
release
offers
details:
"The
honorary
honorary
doctorate
will
be
presented
to
Ms.
Streisand
in
recognition
of
her
professional
achievements,
outstanding
humanitarianism,
leadership
in
the
realm
of
human
and
civil
rights,
and
dedication
to
Israel
and
the
Jewish
people."
In
1995,
Barbra
received
her
first
honorary
PhD
during
commencement
ceremonies
at
Brandeis
University
in
near
Boston. |

Barbra's
last
stop
in
continental
Europe
was
last
night
in
Berlin,
before
her
tour
wraps
up
in
Israel
later
this
week.
For
the
occasion,
Barbra
debuted
a
new
costume
- a
real
head-turner
in
gold
that
harkened
back
to
her
days
as
Dolly
Levi.
For
this
show,
Barbra
mixed
things
up
again,
offering
not
only
a
complete
performance
of
"Woman
In
Love"
(her
second
of
the
tour),
but
a
masterful
rendition
of
Sondheim's
"Send
In
The
Clowns"
as
an
encore. |

June
13 -
In
Cologne
last
night,
Barbra
exclaimed
to the
crowd,
"I
love
German
audiences."
The
Laxness
Arena
bore
witness
to
one
of
the
rare
treats
of
this
concert
tour.
Admittedly
not
one
of
her
favorite
songs,
at
least
lyrically,
Barbra
performed
the
complete
version
of
her
most
popular
European
single,
"Woman
in
Love."
It
turned
into
a
sing-a-long
-
that
had
the
joint
jumpin'.
Inside:
Barbra's
visits
to
London,
Amsterdam,
Cologne,
Berlin
and
Tel
Aviv. |

Remembering
Jean
Stapleton
|

|
Jean Stapleton as Mrs. Strakosh in "Funny Girl" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
June
1 -
As
the
Broadway
overture
from
"Funny
Girl"
was kicking
off
Barbra
Streisand's
London
concert
this
evening,
we
were
learning
that
an
original "Funny
Girl"
cast
member
had
died.
Jean
Stapleton,
who
co-starred
opposite
Barbra
as
Mrs.
Strakosh
in
that
1964
production
passed
away
at
her
home
in
New
York
yesterday.
She
was
90.
Broadway
will
dim
its
lights
on
June
5th
in
her
memory.
Despite
her
incredible
resume
as a
theatrical
performer,
Stapleton
will
be
best
remembered
for
playing
Edith
Bunker
on
the
landmark
'70s
sitcom,
"All
in
the
Family."
She
won
three
Emmys
for
that
role.
Jean
Stapleton's
role
in
"Funny
Girl"
is
being
included
in
most
broadcast
and
online
remembrances
today.

our
original
profile
of

Stapleton

Barbra Attends "Nerd Prom" |
|
April
28 -
Barbra
Streisand
and
James
Brolin
attended
the
annual
White
House
Correspondents'
Dinner
in
Washington,
D.C.
last
night
as
guests
of
the
Bloomberg
News
media
outlet.
Seated
next
to
Barbra
was
her
dinner
partner,
Mayor
Michael
Bloomberg
of
New
York.
Barbra
was
surely
one
of
the
cool
kids
at
the
event
that
has
come
to
be
known
as
the
"Nerd
Prom."
This
was
not
the
first
time
Barbra
attended
the
Correspondents'
Dinner.
She's
been
a
guest
before
-
and
even
performed
at
the
dinner
back
in
1963.
That
particular
evening
is
best
remembered
for
Barbra's
performance
of
"Happy
Days
Are
Here
Again"
in
front
of
President
John
F.
Kennedy. |
