Barbra Streisand began singing as a teenager to support her family, but it was thanks to the runaway success of her first film, "Funny Girl," that she was able to imagine the duel life of an actress and performer. Over the years she has recorded over 30 studio albums, performed in musicals and dramatic movies, such as "The Mirror Has Two Faces" and "The Prince of Tides," and put on concert tours all over the world. She married actor James Brolin and despite battling stage-fright she resumed touring in 2006, in the name of her many charities, and also to "give something back" to her loyal fans.
