Hello Gorgeous! We\\u2019re kicking off our Barbra Streisand series (titled \\u201cPodcastl,\\u201d naturally) with a look at her version of the classic Hollywood cautionary tale - 1976\\u2019s A STAR IS BORN. And who better to join us than our own songbird superstar - the lovely Rachel Zegler! While Babs didn\\u2019t technically direct this one, she and her partner Jon Peters (Bradley Cooper in LICORICE PIZZA, duh) exacted supreme creative control over the project - to mixed results. Join us as we trace the beginning of Streisand\\u2019s career, go down several rabbit holes of who else was considered for this movie (Elvis, Sonny and Cher), and speak fondly about Mariah Carey\\u2019s GLITTER. Because, why not?!
