Barbra Streisand

One famous person I would really like to meet is Barbra Streisand, a fabulous singer!
Born in 1942, in Brooklyn, New York, her real name is Barbara Joan Streisand but she shortened it to Barbra to make it more distinctive.
She calls herself 'the actress who sings', but she is more than that: she is also a composer and a film director. This actress who sings has taken part in numerous comedies and musicals, and has performed live singing great songs to huge audiences. She is so talented that she has received 2 Oscars, 6 Emmys, 11 Golden Globes, 10 Grammys and a Tony.
What I like most about her is her magical voice. She sings better than anyone I know. In fact, people think she is one of the most amazing singers in the United States.
Although we both sang at school in a choir, her voice is far better than mine and she is obviously more talented. Another big difference is that she is much older than me and her distinctive nose is much larger than mine (luckily mine is not as big as hers!).
If I were lucky enough to meet her, I would like to sing one of her beautiful songs with her.
