LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Singer and actress Barbra Streisand is hoping to get back behind the camera and direct her first movie in 16 years, but has yet to raise all the money for it.
Streisand’s spokesman confirmed reports that the “Funny Girl” actress wants to direct “Skinny and Cat,” a love story about late writer Erskine Caldwell and his late wife, American photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White.
It would be Streisand’s first directing project since “The Mirror Has Two Faces” in 1996, and Oscar-winning stars Colin Firth and Cate Blanchett are reportedly attached to play the leads.
Her spokesman said however that the project has not been given the go-ahead yet because of financing issues.
