Is Barbra Streisand as rude as she seems?

Former Pilot (1973–2013)

Yes she is worse. She considers herself royalty. I know an airline flight attendant who had her and her personal assistant in 1st class. The attendant walks up, smiles and says, can I get you something to drink Ms Streisand? So Babs gets a big frown on her face… she had the window seat… she turns her back on the flight attendant and looks out the window without saying a word. Her assistant proceeds to scold the flight attendant like she had done something wrong. She says, You do not speak directly to Mz Streisand. You speak to me and I’ll speak to Ms Streisand. It would have been nice if she’d taken Bab’s drink order through the indentured servant and then came back and dumped it on the pompous, arrogant biches head.

I had always been a huge fan of Streisand when I was young. I had all her albums, memorized every song she ever sang and used to force my brothers to sit and listen to me sing them…they were so tolerant.

One day my one brother and I were at garden park when I saw her walking along alone. My brother, knowing how much I liked her, encouraged me to approach her.

I took a deep breath, walked up to her and said, “hello, I know you hear this all the time but I need to tell you how much I admire your talent”.

Her response, “just leave me alone”.

I witnessed the film crew’s distain for her while I worked as an extra on ‘A Star is Born’ in 1976. Every time Babs would ascend the camera platform to bark out orders the crew would hold up hilarious but very rude hand painted signs behind her.

Have you ever met a famous person you admired but who ended up being a jerk in person? If so, who was it?

Barbara Streisand. Years ago, we stayed in the same hotel in Venice Italy where, over several days, I had many opportunities to observe her behavior. She was rude, entitled, and demanding. I was so disappointed because I had admired her for years and, initially, was excited to see her. None of us are perfect and we all have bad days but she never once showed any humility or grace. I have met quite a few celebrities over the years, some were warm and gracious and others not so much, but she took the cake. I continue to admire her talent but not the person. Sad.
