Barbara Joan Streisand, conocida artísticamente como Barbra Streisand, nació el 24 de abril de 1942 en Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Nueva York. Desde temprana edad, Streisand mostró un talento excepcional para el canto y la actuación, marcando el comienzo de una carrera que la llevaría a convertirse en una de las figuras más prominentes y reconocidas de la industria del entretenimiento.
Streisand creció en un hogar humilde. Su padre, Emanuel Streisand, falleció cuando ella tenía solo 15 meses, dejando a su madre, Diana, criar a Barbra y su hermano mayor, Sheldon, en condiciones bastante precarias. A pesar de las dificultades económicas, Barbra se destacó en la escuela y mostró un interés temprano por las artes.
A finales de la década de 1950, en su adolescencia, Barbra decidió seguir una carrera en el mundo del espectáculo. Después de graduarse de la Erasmus Hall High School en 1959, se mudó a Manhattan para buscar oportunidades en el teatro y la música. Su determinación la llevó a presentarse en varios clubes nocturnos neoyorquinos, donde rápidamente ganó la atención por su poderosa voz y talento interpretativo.
En 1960, participó en la obra "Another Evening with Harry Stoones", la cual resultó ser un fracaso, pero esto no la detuvo. Su carrera comenzó a despuntar cuando fue contratada para actuar en el famoso club de Greenwich Village, el Bon Soir. En 1962, Barbra debutó en Broadway con la obra musical "I Can Get It for

[Spoken Intro: Barbra Streisand and Hugh Jackman]
Hi, Honey! I'm home! (door closes) Sorry I'm late, my appointments went on and on...
No no. It's okay. I-I ate already
Really?
Yeah, well when I didn't hear from you. I assu-
Oh, I'm so sorry
It's fine don't worry
I really- meant to call
So how-how's the script?
Uh yeah, it's coming along. It's good. Good, yeah
Good, good. Um... I had my hair cut. Do you like it?
Uh-huh. Yeah. I ha-hang on one second. I'm in the middle of writing something. Hang on
Oh. I'm sorry. Um... I'm- I'm going upstairs
Listen don't- (sighs)
What?
Alright. I'll be up
[Verse 1: Barbra Streisand]
Any moment now, he'll notice me
Me and my butterfly heart
Any moment now he'll turn around and grin
And say "At last, where have you been?
[Chorus 1: Barbra Streisand]
We're late for daybreak on the Riviera"
If not the Riviera, the beach at Malibu
The rich Madera sunset going on forever
With my arms growing cold
And his arms growing warm with life unfolding
[Verse 2: Barbra Streisand]
Any moment now, he'll say to me
"Why don't you follow your heart?"
How can he know that I've been praying he'd arrive
Afraid to come alive 'til then
Just saying, any moment now
[Spoken: Barbra Streisand and Hugh Jackman]
Listen, can you tell that I'm a little frustrated?
Well, so am I
I mean, I feel like you've been avoiding me
Me, avoiding you?
You-you're avoiding us
Oh
I mean, you're always out having meetings or--
I'm not always out
It would be nice if you just stayed home once in a while. Just the two of us
Well, I wouldn't be much fun, honey. I don't drink
Oh ho- Well, you gotta have something to wash down a frozen dinner
Wow. I don't know how to answer that. Look, I am going to sleep
[Verse 3: Hugh Jackman]
Any moment now, she'll notice me
Me and my simple guy ways
Any moment now, she said she'll settle down
If that were true, I'd paint the town
[Chorus 2: Hugh Jackman]
I'd take her flying to Atlantic City
If not Atlantic City, to see Niagara Falls
I know I'm pretty [?] up about Seattle
What a life we could build in a home that is filled with love and laughter
[Verse 4: Barbra Streisand and Hugh Jackman and both]
Any moment now
You'll say to me
You'll humor me
Chase the past
Those overcast days (oooh)
How can I begin forgetting where we've been
To let the laughter in again
It's always any moment now
Oh, any moment now
[Spoken Outro: Barbra Streisand and Hugh Jackman]
Promise me we'll talk about this
Sure
When?
