Are Barbra Streisand and Bette Midler sisters? — C.L , Port Orange, Fla.
No. Streisand has one half-sister, Rosalind Kind, and one brother, Sheldon Streisand. And, in answer to a question from D.A. in Shreveport, La., Streisand’s real given name is Barbara. She changed the spelling.
No. Not at all, but many think they are.
I always got them confused. I was born in 1985. My Mom born in 1960 never saw it!
