Firooz Zahedi/PBS Barbra StreisandBarbra Streisand made a splash in New York last year when she sang in two sold-out shows at the Barclays Center. Now Ms. Streisand’s film work will be in the spotlight of her hometown: on Monday she is to receive the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s annual Chaplin Award for lifetime achievement.
In advance of the ceremony (which will feature former President Bill Clinton, who is presenting the honor), Ms. Streisand has agreed to answer select questions from readers of The New York Times.
The society singled out her role as the moving force behind “Yentl,†the first film to credit a woman as director, producer, writer and star. Ask Ms. Streisand about “Yentl†or anything else, from her Oscar-winning efforts (she won best actress for “Funny Girl†and best original song for “Evergreenâ€) to her recent collaboration with Seth Rogen.
Post your questions in the comments section (by Wednesday afternoon) and check back on Monday for Ms. Streisand’s answers.
