At every stage of her career, Barbra Streisand's genius finds its
fullest measure in screen song, first in Emmy-winning TV specials,
then in Hollywood blockbusters from Funny Girl to Funny Lady. She
goes on, as emerging auteur, to direct her own "musical concepts"
in A Star Is Born-before reconceiving the big-screen musical
altogether in the writing as well as directing of her own starring
role in Yentl ("A Film with Music"). In this intensive reading of
the "actress-who-sings," Garrett Stewart notes the gender and
ethnic stereotypes that Streisand shattered as the first openly
Jewish superstar, while concentrating not just on the cultural
difference she made but on the internal differentials of her unholy
vocal gift-whose kinetic volatility shapes a kind of cinematic
terrain all its own. Down through her filmed return to the concert
stage, Stewart elicits the sinuous phonetic text of Streisand's
on-screen musical delivery in a keenly attentive mode of audition
that puts into fresh perspective the indelible aura of her stardom.
