Barbra Streisand reprised her Oscar-winning role as Fanny Brice in the 1975 musical comedy-drama film Funny Lady, sequel to the 1968 film Funny Girl. The biographical movie continues the story of the comedienne as she navigates her career and personal life following her divorce from Nicky Arnstein. The film features a mix of musical performances and dramatic moments, highlighting Fanny's relationship with songwriter and impresario Billy Rose, played by James Caan. Costume designers Ray Aghayan and Bob Mackie received Oscar nominations for their efforts, making this wardrobe continuity script especially remarkable.
