Barbra's Mini-Me from "Timeless"

One of the more inventive devices chosen for Barbra's "Timeless" concerts back in 2000 was the depiction of her teenaged self. Young newcomer Lauren Frost was first to take the stage and reenacted Barbra's very first recording session from 1955. The song was "You'll Never Know" and as Lauren imitated young Barbra, the present-day version made her grand entrance. They continued in a charming duet of "Something's Coming." Frost would appear again during the show's Act 1 and Act 2 finales, tying the autobiographical aspect of "Timeless" into a neat bundle.

Lauren Frost was recruited for the role in "Timeless," partly because she bears a striking resemblance to Barbra, but mostly because she has a legitimate singing voice. Her on-stage harmonies with Barbra were flawless, especially during their three-way vocal of "A Piece of Sky" (sung along with Barbra and a video clip from "Yentl").

Since "Timeless," Lauren has continued her performance career and landed some impressive gigs. Most notable was her inclusion in the AFI tribute to Streisand when she serenaded Barbra with the Bergman tune, "On The Way To Becoming Me." She stopped the show in a stunning opening tribute that obviously moved Barbra.
