Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Streisand reportedly fought with director Herbert Ross so intensely that co-star James Caan sided with her and was briefly fired, then rehired.
This sequel to Funny Girl (1968) came seven years later to diminished returns — it's now mostly remembered for Streisand's costumes, not her Oscar-worthy performance from the original.
