Full title: Barbra Streisand Once Cancelled a Jimmy Kimmel Appearance Because She Wasn't Able to Sit on Her "Best Side"

---

Barbra Streisand is no less a legend than she was in the '90s and aughts, when she had her last major run of film roles, but there is a reason that you don't see more of her on late-night TV — at least on Jimmy Kimmel. The talk show host revealed why that is when sitting down with Andy Cohen for an interview on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

For years she sued, trying to prevent people with choppers, planes and drones from photographing her property.

Not to mention: fencing!

Barbra Streisand
Hello there, little boy. Do you know who I am?

Kyle
No.

Barbra Streisand
Ugh. I bet you do.}}
I’m going-

Kyle
Aagh! Stop that!

Barbra Streisand
-where there’s lucky clovers in the f-

Stan
Ow, that sucks, dude!

Barbra Streisand
I’m Barbra Streisand!

Stan
...so?

Barbra Streisand
So?! Uh muh, so I’m a very famous and very important individual.

Stan
Like John Elway important?

Barbra Streisand
What?!

Stan
D’you know John Elway?

Barbra Streisand
No!

Stan
Oh, so you’re really famous and important but you don’t know John Elway!

A socialist...

And rich AS HELL.

... only honest side is that upon witch she is always sitting.

LOL - was that a freudian slip?

[Still Thinking]

There’s a best side, and she’s been showing us that one for the last five decades???

I saw an interview of Dawn Wells about Gilligan’s Island.

She pointed out some interesting things. Ginger always had to have her left side facing the camera. Since then I have noticed that was absolutely true.

Oddly in the few times you get to see her right side, it looks the same as the left. She probably had some incident in which she thought her right side was not as pretty.

She also mentioned that Jim Backus was always a bit insecure. He would often ask Dawn if he was OK in some scene.

She and the professor always had a private joke about them being originally billed as “the rest”. They wrote each other as long as he lived. Not anything romantic, they were just friends.

[Still Thinking]

Dawn was way cuter than Ginger.

That's a shame -- sounds like a break for Jimmy Kimmel. Thanks EveningStar.

[morphing libertarian]

She WAS sitting on her best side. Bottoms up

[yarddog]

Hotter too.

[gaijin]

Lucky, lucky popsicle....

She was more Ginger than Ginger, at least to me...

Why she’s no fun, she fell right over.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I read about the truly insane lengths that she went to to have her “good side” filmed in The Mirror Has Two Faces. I thought she was crazy then. It seems like she’s just as crazy now. And its a little ironic. She made a name for herself in the 70s as a comedy actress by being willing to look silly and ugly at times. Something changed her in the 80s. I guess she started to get some buzz as a “serious actress” and it went to her head.

[bankwalker]

Is she the one that sang “Second Hand Nose”?

[Darksheare]

Her best work was on 8mm film in black and white.
