I would have never seen this picture if she hadn't done this.

Yikes, Barbra really let herself go.

No, you're thinking of Kristen Bell who is the "let it go" lady. Streisand is the one who famously lost out on Worst Actress to Kristen Stewart for her role in The Guilt Trip, in which she played the unbelievably original role of "obnoxious Jewish mother."

She also released at least one musical album back in the 1900s and appeared in a few movies.

One such movie included Streisand portraying the daughter of a disappointed rabbi who also questions her father's ability to hear her.

Kristen Bell played Anna in Frozen, did not sing "Let it go". That was by Elsa, played by Idina Menzel.

You talking about the wick-edly talented... Adele Dazeem?

You have to be pretty good to beat Kristen Stewart.

Damn, Streisand is looking good for a 182-year-old

And even those who saw it would have seen it in the context of a lot of other portraits in the same style, where it doesn’t stand out as anything personally directed at Rinehart.

It doesn’t really matter. She’ll wield her power, get her way and then go on living her toxic existence feeling like she won even though, quantitatively, more people think she’s a cunt.

But we can all tell ourselves this somehow makes a difference

The picture is still up, maybe there is justice in this world.
