Lainie Kazan - Why Is She A Loser?

Eldergays tells us why Lainie Kazan is a loser

by Anonymousreply 10May 14, 2018 5:47 PM

She was so good as Streisand's understudy in "Funny Girl" that she is probably the only person to strike terror into Barbra. Of course, Kazan didn't help matters by pulling an Eve Harrington and having all the press review a performance where she went on.

Was it Barbra who started this thread?

A least I have a degree. Did Babs even graduate High School?

"She attended Brooklyn's Erasmus Hall High School, where she was a senior while Barbra Streisand, whom she would later understudy, was a sophomore. Kazan went on to graduate from Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, on Long Island, in 1960"

She should have won an Oscar for My Favorite Year.

After theater, Lainie made records, Lainie was on TV shows, Lainie did the nightclub circuit, Lainie appeared in a few bad movies. Later, Lainie appeared in some hit movies. Hardly a loser. That Streisand stuff happened 53 years ago.

She was the entertainer at a gala I attended in 2004. She was a hell of a lot of fun and I loved her music.

Really good interview from 2016. If you only want to hear the Funny Girl part, go to 14:37. She has nice things to say about Sinatra too.
