Barbra Streisand’s mother put in a lot of hard work and made a lot of sacrifices so that she could provide for her family.
Barbra Streisand, the woman who gave birth to her, reared her daughter alone when her father passed away from an epileptic fit when she was just one year old. Barbra’s father was 34 years old when this event took place. After her father’s passing, the family’s already precarious financial status took a big turn for the worse. Her mother supported her family by keeping herself and her family by working as a bookkeeper.
Barbra referred to herself as an outsider throughout the conversation. The phrase “everyone else’s father came home from work” came to mind at the conclusion of the day. “Not so in my experience.”
