The best movie of all time, Funny Girl, has been restored and will be re-released at the Castro Theatre this week. You know I'm there! Found this ode to Barbra from her costar in the paper today:

"The first time I saw Barbra, I called my agent and said, 'This girl isn't so beautiful. How can she be the leading lady of a romance?' " Sharif recalled. "But the more time I spent with her, the more I saw her beauty. I became infatuated with her."
