Fanny Brice (Streisand) begins her career in vaudeville; but only she could have expected it to end on Broadway. Omar Sharif plays her long-time friend, eventual husband, and entrepreneur Nicky Arnstein. The film follows their long careers through the ups and downs of love, stardom and failure. Based upon the true story of Broadway star Fanny Brice, this award-winning film was directed by four-time Academy Award winner William Wyler (Ben-Hur, The Best Years of Our Lives, Roman Holiday) from the Broadway musical of the same name.
