Barbara Streisand
Does Barbara Streisand really need an introduction? Her widespread success came with her musicals Hello, Dolly! and Funny Girl in the late 60’s. Then in the 70’s, her acting career really took off. However, she’s also a director, composer, writer and producer now. Apparently, Streisand and Gwyneth Paltrow will star in the upcoming Netflix comedy series called The Politician. Oh and no big deal, but she’s one of the best selling musical artists of all time.
