We’re actually scared for him!
Barry Dennen, former boyfriend of Barbra Streisand, is auctioning off three tapes of her earliest performances, starting the bids at $1 million.
“I’m a little trepidatious. I don’t know what the fallout will be,” says Dennon. “I don’t like upsetting Barbra, and I don’t want her fans angry at me.”
Damn right, you don’t!
She’ll cut you!
The two met almost fifty years ago as castmates in the off-Broadway play The Insect Comedy and soon began living together.
After hearing Streisand casually sing one night, he persuaded and coached her to begin performing in front of an audience.
The tapes include Babs singing A Taste of Honey and Two Brothers in Dennen’s apartment, while he accompanied her on guitar. It also includes a rehearsal at the Bon Soir nightclub, where she performed Keepin’ Out of Mischief Now, A Sleepin’ Bee, I Want To Be Bad, When Sunny Gets Blue, Lover Come Back to Me, Nobody’s Heart and Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?
According to Dennon, the diva invited him to see Funny Girl long after they had parted ways. Babs kept him waiting for over an hour and a half before demanding the tapes back.
Obviously, she never got her way!
And how does Miz Streisand feel about it?!
“Our lawyers are dealing with this,” said a member of her camp.
We’ll be surprised if he gets out of this with his ballz intact!
