Description

"Costume changes for Barbra Streisand as Fanny Brice"

Unique brad-bound script and costume change guide for the Academy Award–nominated 1975 film Funny Lady starring Barbra Streisand, 8.75 x 11, containing 14 pages of manuscript wardrobe data sheets with 39 affixed color candid continuity photographs, followed by the film's 116-page script. The front cover identifies the script as a "Fourth Draft, March 7, 1974," and is annotated in black felt tip, "Costume changes for Barbra Streisand as Fanny Brice—Shirlee Strahm, Costumer, 132251." The first fourteen pages extensively document virtually every costume Streisand wears in each scene of the film, with comprehensive notes about the components of each, describing everything from hats, coats, and dresses to accessories, shoes, and jewelry. Affixed to each page are full-length candid 3.5 x 4.5 photos of Barbra Streisand in the costumes described.

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.
