The explosive allegations against Stark, who prior to his death in 2004

Making accusations against someone who can't defend themselves, cute.

Why didn't she say something BEFORE he died?

Peter’s likes Stark’s sloppy seconds. While making “A Star is Born” Kris Kristofferson told Peters, “If I want any sh!t out of you, I’ll squeeze your head.”

According to Peters, Stark first molested Streisand as she prepared for her breakthrough performance in the 1968 movie Funny Girl

In 1968 Babs was 26. I'm not sure "molest" is the appropriate verb.

Rape? Sexual assault?

"Barbra Streisand Sexually Abused by Hollywood Mogul Ray Stark"

Sounds like Stark has been punished enough.

Kevin Smith also had an interesting story to tell about being hired to write the script for the remake of Superman, which was to star Nicholas Cage. The producer, Jon Peters was Barbara Streisand's hairdresser, who later married Barbara and produced some of her movies. Kevin met with Peters at his house to go over the script with him. Peters then told Kevin the three points that Kevin had to adhere to when writing the script:

1) Superman couldn't wear the Superman suit.

2) Superman couldn't fly.

3) In the third act, Superman should fight with a giant spider.

Kevin was incredulous. When he went back to the Warner Brothers studio, they asked him "is Jon still talking about the giant spider?" He found out that Jon Peters had attended open house at his kid's school and learned that spiders are the fiercest creatures in the animal kingdom.

Tim Burton was hired to direct Superman, and eventually hired his own writers. In the end Superman was never made.

An interesting postscript to this story is that later Kevin went to see the movie Wild Wild West. Jon Peters finally got his giant spider.

Hollyweird, AKA Hedonism Central, where a morality play becomes just a play with the morals stripped out ‘for audience appeal’.I am willing to wager that there is more ass grabs and lewd propositions there than anywhere else on this poor old planet.

...and these people are telling us how to live our lives?

[NRA2BFree]

How can they call consensual sex, “molesting?” These women were adults, weren’t they? If they were children then that’s different. I would think he could have been charged with coercing them, or perhaps he was using emotional blackmail.

OK, where are the sagging boob pictures?

[McGruff]

Well she certainly wasn't gonna get the part based upon her looks.

Don’t ya love how these Casting Couch Divas in HOMMOWOOD love to lecture us on ethics and morality??

Actress?

Four-times divorced, Peters, former hairdresser-turned-studio-boss, has five children, and in the past year was slapped with a sexual harassment suit himself, as well as faced ongoing litigation surrounding a 2006 drunk-driving conviction.

I'm sure he's reliable though. ;') I wouldn't take the word of someone who at any time in his life wanted to sleep with Babs.

Peters’ memoir, tentatively entitled Studio Head...

I get it.

[doorgunner69]

I got to wonder if the hag might have paid him. Be almost like a mercy screwing...........

But Lesley Ann Warren, what a babe she was. Stark should have been tied to an ant hill for that one............

[dforest]

I almost didn’t read this thread because it made me want to barf that anyone would WANT to sexually abuse Babs.

Yuck

Lesley Ann Warren was breathtaking in the late ‘60’s. Matter of fact she was a knockout in the ‘80’s. Shameful behavior on the fact of this Stark person, but not unusual. Certainly not back then, still is I’m sure.

[Cedar]

Streisand was already a mega-superstar by 1973. I doubt she had to sleep with Stark to get a role in “The Way We Were.”
