Barbra,
the
Fan
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.
Dodger Fan
Dodger Stadium, October 13, 2008
Barbra and husband James Brolin were enjoying some post-season
baseball action in the fall of 2008. Eagle-eyed Fox broadcasters
spotted them in the owner's box at Dodger Stadium on October 13.
Agassi Fan
Louis Armstrong Stadium,
September 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 night match
in September. 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."
Laker Fan
L.A.
Forum,
June 19, 1988
They were dating in
1988 when TV cameras caught
Barbra
and "Miami Vice" star Don Johnson at the Los Angeles
Forum, sitting courtside at a Laker's game on June 19.
That's Barbra, seated (in white), in the center of the action.
Yankee
Fan
At The
Emmys,
September 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.
