The original version of A Star Is Born came out in 1937, and Streisand’s version was the second remake: the first, in 1954, starred Judy Garland. Noting that the Gaga/Cooper version would be the third remake of the movie, she told Extra, “I feel great about it because I know A Star Is Born will work; it works every time… because the music can change with the decades, so I know it’s gonna work.”
Streisand’s #1 single “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born),” became one of the biggest hits of her career. Lady Gaga is composing and performing new music for the film.

Kevin Mazur/WireImage for BSBOne of Barbra Streisand’s most popular films was the 1976 version of A Star Is Born, which cast her as a showbiz ingenue opposite Kris Kristofferson. The movie is being rebooted once again with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, and the diva says she’s totally fine with that.
