Fans React to the Reunion
Barbra’s tweet sent fans into a frenzy, with one excited follower commenting, “OMG WHAT DO YOU MEAN STAY TUNED.” This fan went on to express their undying love for the 1976 version of A Star Is Born, saying, “I love your A Star Is Born so much that I can’t even bring myself to watch the new movie. No matter what anyone tells me, there will never be anything better.” It’s clear that Barbra and Kris’s version holds a special place in the hearts of many.
The Legacy of A Star Is Born
The original A Star Is Born premiered in 1937, starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March. This timeless story was later remade into a musical in 1954, featuring Judy Garland and James Mason. Then came Barbra and Kris’s unforgettable version in 1976, which paved the way for the most recent adaptation directed by Bradley Cooper and starring Lady Gaga. Each iteration has brought its own unique flavor to the screen, but Barbra’s version remains a cherished classic for many.
Barbra Streisand’s version of A Star Is Born earned her an Oscar for Best Original Song with “Evergreen.” Decades later, Lady Gaga followed in her footsteps, winning the same award for “Shallow” at the 2019 Oscars. Imagine the pressure Lady Gaga must have felt stepping into a role previously played by a ten-time Grammy winner. But Barbra has always been supportive. “I haven’t seen it completed. Bradley did show me the opening,” Barbra told The New York Times last October. “I loved how he used the drag bar. I thought that was new and interesting. What I’ve seen of the film, I really liked.” Clearly, Gaga earned Barbra’s respect and admiration.
