Only Streisand could have done justice to her and certainly did. In fact, without Streisand there probably would have not been a "Funny Girl." I know Kaye Ballard wanted very much to do it and recorded a brilliant album of Fannie Brice songs. And in the early stages Eydie Gorme was talked about, though I'm not even sure she knew it. On the road, Carol Lawrence, all of people, did the show brilliantly, though when you think of it why should that be a surprise? She could do everything!
Fanny was an attractive and graceful woman, although she played up her faults onstage for comic effect. She was also brilliant and that was translated onstage into comic genius. There will never be another like her.

Can totally see the inspiration for Funny Girl's Shvan Lake, from the costume to the moves...
