Remembering Allison J. Waldman |
|
|
 April
15, 2013 - Allison J. Waldman,
the world's foremost expert on
the career of Barbra Streisand
and my good friend died today at
the age of 56. Allison fought
very hard against a stubborn
cancer that eventually took her.
Allison was a monumental
presence within the Barbra
Streisand fan community. What a
joy it was when Allison finally
met Barbra Streisand during one
of the final months of her life.
More inside.

be
known
as

Prom."
This
was
not

first
time

She's
been
a
guest
before
-
and
even
performed
at
the
dinner
back
in
1963.
That
particular
evening
is
best
remembered
for
Barbra's
performance
of
"Happy
Days
Are
Here
Again"
in
front
of
President
John
F.
Kennedy. |

Bette Midler as Super-Agent Sue Mengers |

|

April 13, 2013 -
After
Bette
Davis
watched
Barbra
Streisand
perform
in
Funny
Girl
back
in
1964,
she
said,
"Some
day
they'll
be
doing
her
life."
Although
that
inevitable
play
about
Barbra's
life
has
yet
to
materialize,
the
subject
of
"Barbra
Streisand"
is
key
in
two
new
productions
currently
on
the
boards
in
New
York.
Bette
Midler
is
on
Broadway
in a
new
play
about
Barbra's
late
Hollywood
agent,
Sue
Mengers.
Those
who've
seen
it
say
that
Mengers'
relationship
with
Barbra
figures
prominently.
The
play,
"I'll
Eat
You
Last"
was
written
by
John
Logan.
Now
in
previews
at
the
Booth
Theatre,
it
opens
on
April
24,
naturally.
More
inside,
including
Michael
Urie's
one
man
show
that's
all
about
Barbra. |

You"
album.
Barbra
remembered
Phil
Ramone
today
saying,
"...Phil
had
impeccable
musical
taste,
great
ears
and
the
most
gentle
way
of
bringing
out
the
best
in
all
the
artists
he
worked
with.
The
monumental
recordings
he
produced
will
endure
for
all
time."
