Stacker looked back at all the Best Actress winners since the first Academy Awards ceremony to highlight major achievements in film history.
Representing Jewish women in entertainment, the film’s subjects Fanny Brice and Barbra Streisand are inseparable. Streisand’s spunk and outspokenness proved beneficial outside the film. When the Six-Day War between Israel and its neighbors broke out and media pitted Egyptian co-star Omar Sharif against Jewish Streisand, she responded in defense of Sharif with a sly joke, dismissing any presumptions of political conflict amongst the cast.
A musical as extraordinary as “Cabaret” required an extraordinary female lead, one who could not only sing and dance, but who could shoulder the weight of its themes without collapsing. Liza Minnelli was cast immediately as Sally Bowles. Her wide-eyed frenetic energy was irresistible even when it highlighted the hatred and corruption around her. Minnelli dedicated her upwardly mobile career fighting such hatred as a gay rights advocate and AIDS fundraiser.
