Fanny Brice (Barbra Streisand)

Fanny Brice

Fanny Brice was a popular and influential American comedienne, singer, theatre and film actress, who made many stage, radio and film appearances but is best remembered as the creator and star of the top-rated radio comedy series, The Baby Snooks Show. Thirteen years after her death, she was portrayed on the Broadway stage by Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl. ...

@dan_dassow​ 

Fanny Brice, aka Barbara Steisand is on the list now. Thank you for that, Dan.

I'm just undecided, if I should take the original Fanny Brice on the list.

It would be double, somehow?! I'll put her on the list, please tell me how it looks.

Thank you, Dan. :D

@dan_dassow​ 

Does Fanny Brice have starred in any movie about movies? Broadway is not exact movies, so I'm unsure, if that options is correct.

@Breumaster​ ,

Placing Fanny Brice, aka Barbara Steisand is on the list is fine.

Please DO NOT put the original Fanny Brice on your list. I mentioned her since you may not have been aware that she was a film star.

@dan_dassow​ 

Ok, Dan. Thank you. :D

Fanny Brice appears in multiple movies:

• Ziegfeld Follies
• Everybody Sing
• The Great Ziegfeld
• Crime Without Passion
• The Man from Blankley's
• Be Yourself!
• My Man

@dan_dassow​ 

The question was, if these movies were about making a movie?

(... and of course if she was the lead then. ...)

If yes, then she would be legit to put her on the list. ;)

@Breumaster​ ,

I really do not know.

@dan_dassow​ 

So I keep her of the list, because I don't know either.

Dan, thank you, without your suggestions, my list would look much emptier.

But I think we reached an ammount of options that is very ok for one poll.

By my own experience it can be exhaustingly boring to pick one of 35 options.

@TheTigerInMe1980​ 

Added. :D

@TheTigerInMe1980​ 

Thank you. I'll put Eve on the list and Bette Davis. I re-considered the choice of mima.

Animated characters is not what I had in mind, because it's more about the acting of the

actresses and with animated characters at least the face expression doesn't count.

But I still take Davis and Baxter. Classic acting in the roles.

@dan_dassow​ 

Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Buddies. :D

I've totally lost that from my radar. But it totally fits into these "Oscars touched" times. ;)
