On this day in 1968, 20TH CENTURY FOX released FUNNY GIRL, the big-screen adaptation of the mega-smash Broadway musical that made a super-star of BARBRA STREISAND (whew!)…..Directed by WILLIAM WYLER, this pert-near-perfect musical told the story of FANNY BRICE and featured in the cast OMAR SHARIF, ANNE FRANCIS, KAYE MEDFORD, WALTER PIDGEON and MAE QUESTAL. One of Hollywood’s all-time best musical biopics.
