Barbra Streisand Didn't Have a Doll, Couch Growing Up
Originally posted 12/29/2008 04:00PM
Barbra Streisand is counted among Hollywood's royalty – but the singer is opening up about her humble beginnings.
"We never had a couch. We never had a living room," the singer/actress, who grew up living in a Brooklyn housing project, says in an interview set to air on CBS's Early Show Tuesday.
"We only had a dining room and then my grandmother and grandfather lived in one bedroom. My mother, my brother and I slept in another bedroom … Now, I love couches," says the star.
Another thing she lived without: "You know, I never had a doll – I had a hot water bottle," says Streisand.
