Barbra Streisand - The Television Appearances

On 5 April 1961, 19-year-old Barbra Streisand sang at "The Jack Paar Show" for what was her debut on television. This was the beginning of a long and thrilling association with the small screen, linking her to her biggest audience ever: the always-changing home viewership. It is through this medium that followers and onlookers experience Ms. Streisand's personal charm, grace, and intelligence away from her personas in motion pictures and album recordings. This video captures some of the most memorable appearances that Ms. Streisand has made on prime-time and late-night television. It highlights over sixty years of milestones and salutes her many collaborators--peers, colleagues, and fans who have helped make every Streisand television moment unforgettable. To paraphrase Kenny Rogers at the 1986 Grammys, it is always a special time when one hears from the television screen: "Ladies and gentlemen, Barbra Streisand!"
