That’s from The Owl and the Pussycat (1970) with Barbra and George Segal.

Did anyone else think two tiny hands are holding her boobs?

First time I saw her, I thought she was a puppet from The Dark Crystal.

EDIT: ahem Muppet!

First time I saw her, she transformed into a 500ft lizard robot after inhaling the Triangles of Zinthar, and Robert Smith from The Cure had to fight to stop her from destroying the city

Every time I see old photos of Barbra like this, I can't help but wonder if Hayley Williams has any acting chops because there is no one I can see playing Babs in a biopic more than I can picture Hayley doing it.

She really does have that "I could be in Hollywood..." face.

It’s like…. In trying to hide the boobies, the hands are actually just drawing more attention to the boobies.

What could we call that… the Barbara Effect maybe……..

Believe it or not (or nuts) she filmed a topless scene for this film. She insisted it be removed before the film was released. Some stills from it can still be found in Google. “The Owl 🦉 and the Pussycat 🐈‍⬛”

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.

They kind of are. I can't remember exactly which of her movies this is a still from, (I want to say "The Owl & The Pussycat") but in the movie, she's wearing a baby doll type dress, that has hands on the boob part of it, as the print.

To all the ladies out there, are chockers considered masogynistic? I mean doesn't it kind of indicate that a women is on a leash?

Another good one of hers from this era is "What's Up, Doc?" with Ryan Oneal. An homage to 1930's screwball comedies. Both leads are very good. It also has some fantastic stunts in the film including a great car chase.

Didn't she Jolene Rita's man away from her?

Only thing I recall of her other than her duet with Neil Diamond
