June 21, 2010 - Barbra played an
avid sports fan in "The Mirror
Has Two Faces." And she's a
sports fan in real life, too.
Whenever she attends a game or a
match, TV cameras always manage
to capture a glimpse.
So with the start of the tennis
at Wimbledon today, we thought
we'd look back at a few of
Barbra Streisand's moments as a
sports fan, each of which were
originally broadcast on live
television.

Wimbledon
June 30, 1993
 Like any other fan, distance
and borders mean nothing
for Barbra in her quest to
follow her favorite star. So
on June 30, 1993, Barbra
went to Wimbledon to
watch Andre Agassi. Those
who were watching the
quarterfinals at home on TV
got several glimpses of Barbra as Agassi
struggled against Pete Sampras.
Sitting in a courtside box with
the Agassi camp, Barbra's
enthusiastic support fell a bit
short. Agassi lost to Sampras in
five sets.

 Barbra
and husband James Brolin
were enjoying some
post-season baseball action

spotted them in the owner's

Louis Armstrong Stadium
Sep 5, 1992
 Barbra was a fixture out in
Flushing Meadows during the
U.S. Open Tennis tournament
in 1992 and attended two
matches. Her favorite player
was featured during a day
match on Saturday, September
5. Barbra agreed to a live
on-air interview from her
box seats during a
changeover. The interview
continued as the match
resumed with Barbra offering
her own play-by-play. Oh,
the player Barbra came out
to cheer was Andre Agassi.
And it was during this
interview when she referred
to him as a "Zen Master." |

 They were dating in
1988 when TV cameras caught
Barbra
and "Miami Vice" star Don Johnson at the Los Angeles

That's Barbra, seated (in white), in the center of the action. |

At The
Emmys
Sep 8, 2001
 Though she couldn't attend the World Series in 2001 (too
busy collecting an Emmy for "Timeless"), Barbra
demonstrated tremendous excitement for her home town
baseball team during a live post-Emmy interview. Back
stage, people were glued to the Series, and Barbra
exploded with excitement when
the New York
Yankees scored to take the lead.
Alas for Barbra and other Yankee fans, the evening ended
in heartbreak as the Diamondbacks clinched the Series. |
