My birthday song, my happy world (Part 263).....

 Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1942, 84 years ago, in Brooklyn NY, Barbra Streisand was born. 


Surely I don't need to tell you why she's a badass.  But just in case...

She's one of the few performers to have an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony)
Her career has spanned 6 decades. 
She was a gay icon to the men in the generation before me. 
She's sold over 150 million records worldwide. 

I'll also list the movies she's starred in: 

Funny Girl (for which she won the Best Actress Oscar)
Hello, Dolly!
What's Up Doc? 
The Way We Were
A Star Is Born
The Main Event
Yentl
Prince Of Tides
The Mirror Has Two Faces

She's got 10 Grammys, 5 Emmys, and 9 Golden Globes. 

I'm not a huge fan of hers, tho I appreciate what she's done.  But still, she's obviously a badass!
