Along with Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier, Streisand formed First Artists Production Company in 1969 so the actors could secure properties and develop movie projects for themselves. Streisand's initial outing with First Artists was the personal Up the Sandbox (1972).

There are several theories why Streisand puts such a high premium on herself. One concerns the comic actor Walter Matthau who, cast opposite Streisand in the 1969 movie Hello Dolly!, told her she had ³all the talent of a butterfly¹s fart². The rest of her career could be viewed as a determined attempt to prove Matthau wrong. The self-dramatisation involved strikes many as high camp.

Cher never forgave Streisand for taking A Star Is Born away from her. Cher (reportedly fuming at the loss) screamed, "What does she [Barbra] know about rock'n'roll?" Well, as much as you do Cher. Still, the movie went on to become Barbra's biggest success. Cher might have gotten over it, except that a decade later, Streisand would snatch Nuts away from her. Now really, Cher, you should thank her for that.

A madcap comedy of errors that leads Streisand and Ryan O’Neal on a crazy quest involving mismatched luggage, secret documents and stolen jewels. The Zagat Movie Guide said, "Streisand’s like butter in this zany modern screwball comedy reminiscent of Bringing Up Baby." Peter Bogdanovich directed the movie which features the motion picture debut of the late Madeline Kahn.

In the internet cartoon and subsequent movie Queer Duck, the character is obsessed with Streisand. In the film he undergoes Christian-based conversion therapy to be made straight, and only Barbra's magic nose can return him to his gayness.
