Barbra Streisand shared unwillingness to return to the big screen
While speaking to People Magazine about taking time off, the actress said, "I had many movies that I wanted to make, and then I get lazy. I go, 'Oh yeah, to do this one, I have to have all these fittings for period clothes. This one, I'd have to live in Arkansas to do this one.' I don't know. It's complicated, but I am complicated, I guess… I get lazy. Bette Davis made 80 movies. I made 19. She's a wonderful actress and she liked working. I like time off."

Barbra Streisand's life and career spanning six decades
Streisand had a natural gift for singing since birth, a voice that everybody made note of by the time she turned 5. "I remember when I was 5 living on Pulaski Street in Brooklyn, the hallway of our building had a brass banister and a great sound, a great echo system," she told The New York Times. "I used to sing in the hallway. I was known as the girl on the street with the good voice. No father, good voice. That was my identity," she said. As a teen, she started to perform at the New York Club circuit before she landed a record deal.
Barbra's first hit was 'People', which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. In a career spanning upwards of six decades as a singer and an actor, she has also won the Grammy, Emmy, Oscar, and Tony Awards. She is also the only singer in the history of time to have a No. 1 album in six consecutive decades. She has recorded close to 36 studio albums as well as 84 albums throughout her career.
Today, her net worth is estimated to be a staggering $400 million. Back in 2017, Billboard reported that her Magic Tour helped her earn more than $50 million. Her assets include a luxurious Malibu home that sources report is worth approximately $80 million.
