Streisand Addendum























Famous American actor Elliot Gould divorced American singer and actress Barbra Streisand in Santo Domingo (1971). Photos show his lawyers and Jennie Bogart his companion to the present days. Exclusive pictures by Hector Herrera (sic)



Early 1980s, LA. I worked at Faire LaCuisine on Melrose, which shared the building with Fred Segal. As with Fred Segal, you entered Faire LaCuisine from the rear, which was its restaurant. Once you walked through the patio/dining area, you entered the kitchen store. This is where I worked, so I had no idea who was dining. It was another Sunday brunch and quiet in the store. I had control of the music, so I played what I wanted and this day I wanted to hear my Barbra cassette. I'd made it. It was 90 minutes of various selections from all her albums up until then. It was a great tape. After the tape had played one side and I'd flipped to the other, the waitress came into the store and informed me that Elliott was having brunch and he wondered if I might change the music. That was a Hollywood moment.

  1. Of course you turned it up full volume after seeing this photo where it looks like they've all joined the Manson Family.

  2. mj, i thought the same thing when i found this photo. of course, it was 1971 and we did look a bit different then. personally, i went out of my way to appear as if i sold drugs, though i didn't. what he looked like that day i cannot recall. i'd annoyed HIM and i swooned.
