Funny Girl

Movie Summary: The story of the life of comedienne Fanny Brice, from her early days in the Jewish slums of the Lower East Side, to the height of her career with the Ziegfeld Follies, including her marriage to and eventual divorce from her second husband, Nick Arnstein.

Queer Film LA Says: If all the backbiting Broadway gossip about the stage revival has you asking what's so special about Funny Girl, come see Barbra Streisand in her Oscar-winning turn as Fanny Bryce (the namesake of Fanny's restaurant at the Academy Museum) in the 1968 Willam Wyler film.
