Barbra has been my favorite singer since the 1970s, I had 21 of her albums (as LPs or CDs or cassettes), one of the best female vocalists of all time.

But for some reason I never could stand her as an actress. I'm not saying she wasn't any good, but I've just never liked her, except for What's Up, Doc? (1972), I adore that movie--just watched it again this weekend--despite the fact that it also stars Ryan O'Neal, another actor I dislike. And she never looked more beautiful (IMO) despite her very unconventional looks.

The above photo is taken from The Owl and the Pussycat (1970) with George Seagal, one of the highest-grossing films that year, but I never saw it and never want to.
