'I wasn't like those pretty girls with those nice little noses': Barbra Streisand, 75, says she has never been sexually harassed and jokes it may be because of her looks

'We're in a strange time now in terms of men and women and the pendulum swinging this way and that way, and it's going to have to come to the center,' Streisand said during Friday's Paley Center for Media event held at a packed theater.

Murphy (Glee, American Horror Story), who admitted to being nervous as he began his one-on-one conversation with the star of 'Funny Girl' and award-winning TV specials dating back to 1966's 'Color Me Barbra,' said he owed his career to her.

'People talk about Barbra as the greatest female star. I say, no, that's not enough,' Murphy said, calling her a groundbreaker for those who don't fit the mold. 'She was a touchstone, a beacon I followed my entire life.​

Barbra just says stuff ...

Always has. Personally I prefer candor to smooth talk. Always liked her music and performances. (Never liked her politics though.)

 

[Darkhorse]

For once, I think she's correct!

Usually her comments are political and totally brainless.

This time, I think she's correct that her face is not the standard of Hollywood beauty, and she humorously credits that for her lack of being sexually harassed.

Aah, ok, that is quite reasonable, isn't it?

I think so, but I also realize that women can be sexually harassed even if they aren't attractive...

Good point.

But Barbra has a mouth. Always has.

Predators may not like that.

Ok, ok, yer a fan.....

but she never COULD sing a lullaby

Barbra may have enjoyed the "Mafia Boss's Daughter" effect in Hollywood.

In Italian neighborhoods of the past, the mafia boss's daughter didn't get harassed either.

Find it hard to believe that anyone can go through life (men or women) without being sexually harassed multiple times.

"Cradle me" in Stoney End is not good enough?

Back in the 60s, I can see it. People are nastier today. The kind of stuff my daughter has endured...I can't imagine any of us either doing that or tolerating it when I was young.

I don't mean no harm, but...

ugh!

THIS is a lullabye?
