Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was Barbra's character's profession in "The Mirror Has Two Faces"?

Answer: Professor

Her character, Rose, was an English Literature professor and Jeff Bridges' character, Gregory, was a Math professor...both at Columbia University.

2. Barbra won the Best Director Oscar for "Yentl" at the Oscars.

Answer: False

"Yentl" won Golden Globes for Best Direction, Movie, Actor, Actress, Score and Song. The movie won Oscars for best Art Direction, Score, Song and Supporting Actress (Amy Irving). The movie was nominated for Best Picture, however, Barbra wasn't nominated for Best Director. As Billy Crystal said in his opening song, "Did "Yentl" direct itself?"

3. This actress played Nick Nolte's wife in "Prince of Tides" (which Barbra directed and starred in).

Answer: Blythe Danner

Blythe Danner was recently in another film with Barbra, "Meet the Fockers". Like Barbra, she has had a distinguished career on stage, in film and on television. Kate Nelligan played his mother. Melinda Dillon played his sister.

4. Omar Sharif played Nicky Arnstein (the husband of Fanny Brice, Barbra's character) in both "Funny Girl" and her ex-husband in "Funny Lady".

Answer: True

He had a brief part in "Funny Lady", trying to woo Fanny Brice back, after she got involved with Billy Rose. Incidentally, Frank Sinatra was seriously considered for the role of Nicky Arnstein but Barbra Streisand vetoed this as she didn't like him.

5. What actor starred in two movies opposite Barbra, as Dr. Howard Bannister and Kid Natural?

Answer: Ryan O'Neal

Ryan O'Neal starred as these characters in "What's Up Doc" and "The Main Event" respectively. George Segal played opposite Barbra in "The Owl and the Pussycat", but had only a supporting role as Jeff Bridges' friend in "The Mirror Has Two Faces".

6. Barbra sang in the movie "Nuts".

Answer: False

She doesn't sing in the movie, but she did write the original score. She has never studied music, however. She says she "hears it in her head" and has someone else write out the notes for her. That's how she wrote "Claudia's Theme" and the score for the movie.

7. What sport was Barbra's character involved in in "The Main Event"?

Answer: Boxing

Her character was that of a perfume diva who lost all of her money. She found that her only asset was a contract that she had with Ryan O'Neal's character, a two-bit boxer. She became his manager, to save her investment.

8. For which movie did Barbra win an Oscar for co-writing the Best Song and for singing that song, as an up and coming singer named Esther?

Answer: A Star is Born

The song was "Evergreen" from the movie "A Star is Born". Barbra wrote the music and the lyrics were by Paul Williams.

9. Barbra's character was accused of being this in the movie "The Way We Were".

Answer: Communist

"The Way We Were" was set in part in the 1950s when many people in Hollywood were blacklisted during the McCarthy era because they were either accused of being a communist, or would not name those who might be.

10. With which actress did Barbra tie for the Best Actress Oscar?

Answer: Katharine Hepburn

Barbra won for "Funny Girl" and Hepburn won for "Lion in Winter". As a voting member of the Academy, if Barbra didn't vote for herself, maybe Ms. Hepburn would have won!
