Love the production of this video and the cartoon/animation added a cute, whimsical touch. Excellent photo and exhibit at the Newberry!

She is amazing - proving people wrong every step of her career. Great photo and I always assumed it was a California Beach .

I think that was pretty interesting, myself. I've always liked that cover picture of Barbra facing the water. Using the title 'People' along w/the cover shot was a brilliant idea! Nice to see the other photos of Streisand that were not used as well. Funny thing is, I always thought the famous cover shot was probably taken on a beach somewhere on Long Island! Learn something new everyday! "Thank you" for this bit of information, and now I think I'll put the album on and enjoy a nice, quiet evening w/ 'People.' 🎶🎵🌅🎼
