Gypsy - Who is she kidding? Only herself....


Acknowledge her incredible talent all you want - is she delusional? She's 74 and will play the mother (at the beginning) of a 10-year-old. And in the 1920s and 1930s, facelifts and botox were NOT invented yet. So she fails on the age and the look. I mean really...to call this a vanity project is an insult to vanity projects. If she wants to do another musical, then why not one that centres on an old lady, or get one written for her, but Gypsy? At least her plastic surgeon should tell her, "Hey, I do good work, but I don't perform miracles!"

Cute, but Barbra is the centerpiece of "Fanny", "Dolly", "Daisy", "Judy",
and even (toned down) "Yentl."

And you know it.

Midler is crass, loud, and lacks Streisand's voice and musical class...
but there are similarities as "actresses."
