Streisand Autobiography Filmography
by bderoes | created - 1 month ago | updated - 1 month ago | PublicWorks mentioned in Barbra Streisand's 2023 autobiography. (My intent is to note where in book she mentions these, or if she does NOT.) (Did not capture the chapter when manager Martin Erlichman was introduced. Probably ch 3. Similarly music director Peter Daniels, casting director/friend/partner in Barwood Films, Cis Corman.)
