Barbra Streisand - Barbra Streisand Struggling To Raise Cash For New Movie

If all goes to plan, however, Streisand will start production on the romantic film in January 2013. Skinny and the Cat tells the tale of a female photographer, Margaret Bourke-White and an author, Erskine Caldwell. When she originally wrote the script, Streisand had intended to star in the movie alongside Robert Redford. However, Farrah Fawcett scuppered her plans, by taking the story to the small screen, before Streisand had a chance to begin work on her own version.

Streisand herself has only appeared in two movies, since she directed 'The Mirror has Two Faces', sixteen years ago. Those two movies were Meet the Fockers (2004) and Little Fockers (2010). Streisand is no stranger to fundraising though; she recently held a very lucrative fundraising event to raise money for the research into women's heart disease, at her Malibu home.
