Barbra Streisand: Prince Of Tides
built 646 days ago
Briefly crushed, Streisand was soon back in the limelight again, in her own way, on her own terms, with The Broadway Album. The first cut on the recording is Streisand speaking with two advisers, who tell her the record won't sell-yet it peaked at number one on the charts and won two Grammys. In 1991, she tried her hand again at directing and starring (as well as producing) a film, Pat Conroy's The Prince of Tides. And again, despite the movie's good reviews and box office success, Streisand was snubbed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. She turned her energies to helping elect Bill Clinton. In November 1996, she released another film in which she starred as well as directed and produced, The Mirror Has Two Faces.

The morning after the Atlanta show, Lipman rents a car and drives five hours southeast, hoping to visit the South Carolina locations where Streisand filmed The Prince of Tides. It takes an hour of getting lost on various bridges before Lipman finds the spot where she can recite Nick Nolte's ''Lowenstein...Lowenstein'' line. She has someone take her picture in the house that Streisand rented during the shoot and snaps some self-portraits in the car's rearview mirror. These pictures will be added to her already extensive collection of reenacted scenes from Streisand's movies. Except Yentl. So far the Barbra Fund hasn't covered trips to the Czech Republic.

Following YENTL, Streisand directed THE PRINCE OF TIDES (1991) and THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES (1996). THE PRINCE OF TIDES was the first motion picture directed by its female star ever to win a Directors Guild of America nomination, as well as seven Academy Award nominations. Barwood Films (formed in 1972 and through which she produced these three films, as well as UP THE SANDBOX, NUTS and A STAR IS BORN) has focused on creating television movies and documentaries that explore pressing social, historical and political issues–issues that have only received such wide broadcast due to the force and conviction of Barbra Streisand’s involvement.

Streisand is referenced in at least three episodes of The Simpsons. Outside Springfield Elementary School, announcing Lisa's jazz concert, is an advertisement for a Streisand concert in the same venue for the following day, with tickets still on sale. In another episode, after Marge undergoes therapy, she informs the therapist that whenever she hears the wind blow, she'll hear it saying "Lowenstein", Streisand's therapist character in The Prince of Tides, despite Marge's therapist having a completely different name. Another reference comes in Sleeping with the Enemy when Bart exclaims after seeing Lisa make a snow-angel in a cake on the kitchen table, "At least she's not singing Streisand".

She ... received a nomination from the Directors Guild of America; she is the third woman to ever receive a nomination.

Streisand produced a number of her own films, setting up Barwood Films in 1972. For Yentl (1983), she was producer, director, writer, and star, an experience she repeated for The Prince of Tides (1991). Steven Spielberg called Yentl a masterpiece, and both won critical acclaim. There was controversy when Yentl received five Academy Award nominations but none for the major categories of Best Picture, Actress, or Director.[9] Prince of Tides received even more nominations, including Best Picture, but the director was not nominated.
