First of all, my dear fellow comment leavers, it's BARBRA -- no extra A! (This is Barbra's site. We have to spell her name correctly for goodness sake!)

This BBC Radio interview was superb. Barbra was relaxed, informative, funny and forthcoming. I hope "The Normal Heart" comes together. The Bergman CD sounds fantastic.

I remember the "Million Dollar Movie" on channel 9, too! I loved her reminiscing about the Rialto and staying at Oxford with the feather mattresses. And did it seem that Jacques Brel knew Barbra was in Marseilles and purposely didn't sing "If You Go Away"? Barbra sounded a little peeved about that.

All in all, a great interview. Thank you, Barbra!
