The article published on the website http://www.bbc.co.uk/ on 23 April 2013, is headlined “Barbra Streisand filmcareer honoured by Lincoln Center’.  The article reports us the fact that US singer Barbra Streisand has been honoured for her film career with the 40th annual Chaplin Award from the Film Society of Lincoln Center.

The author of the article reports that among those paying tribute to the actress - who turns 71 tomorrow - were former president Bill Clinton, Liza Minnelli and singer Tony Bennett.  She is one of just a few to have won all four major US awards - an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and an honorary Tony.  The event raised $2m (£1.3m) to help the centre promote independent cinema.

The author also described the career of Barbara. Streisand won a second Oscar in 1997 for Evergreen, the theme song from A Star is Born. She has won four Emmy awards and 10 Grammy awards. Former US President Bill Clinton said: "Every great person is driven," the former president said. "But if that person has massive talent, big brains and a bigger heart, you want to go along for the ride." Also appearing onstage were Michael Douglas, Pierce Brosnan, Kris Kristofferson and Meet The Fockers co-stars Blythe Danner and Ben Stiller. Streisand was serenaded by Bennett, who closed the show with the song, Smile, written by Charlie Chaplin.

The author of the article doesn’t express his opinion about Barbara. As for me, I can’t  tell that I am fond of her personality, or something like that, but I think she deserves this nomination !
