Frankly, I think Streisand gave this project a lot more than it deserved, even though she knew FUNNY LADY was an inferior sequel. She could have phoned it in, but she didn’t. #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

Throughout the production of FUNNY LADY, the gossip columns were chock-full of reports about Babzilla tantrums (probably provided by Ray Stark). But who could blame her? It was a court-ordered movie. #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

If you thought FUNNY GIRL took liberties with the facts about Fanny Brice’s story, wait until you see how Baby Snooks was secretly a chic and stylish glamourpuss… #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
