Barbra Streisand clawed her way up in a male-dominated music industry with her numerous talents. The singer-turned-actress has pretty much won every award an entertainer could hope to win. She’s got 10 Grammys, nine Golden Globes, five Emmys and a Tony.
With films like Funny Girl and A Star Is Born, Streisand broke barriers for women. She’s the top-selling female artist in the United States and holds the record for having the most top 10 albums out of any other female performer (she’s got 34). When Yentl was released in 1983, she became the first woman to ever write, produce, direct and star in a major studio film. As it stands, she’s the only female to ever with a Golden Globe for Best Director.
