Anyone hear about The Way We Are script?


I remember seeing Barbara on the Tonight Show somewhere around 1999 and Johnny Carson asked if there would ever be a part 2. Her reply was that "there was a script out there called The Way We Are". From what I remember she said that no one was interested in doing it. Anyone else see that?

reply

Johnny Carson retired in 1992.

Back in the early 1980's, Robert Redford approached the screenwriter From the way we were, To write another film. The screenwriter wrote a sequel to the way we were, And Streisand liked it so much, She was willing to direct it. But unfortunately Redford turn down the opportunity. Years later Oprah Winfrey asked Robert Redford, Why did he refuse to be a sequel? Redford replied, "Certain things should be left alone, & This was one of them"

Maybe Redford, who is a very good director, felt the same way that I do about Streisand's abilities as a director.

Oh Lord, you gave them eyes but they cannot see...
