Everyone is talking about Barbara.
One of the terrible storms that have been seen in our districts in recent years is raging outside, blowing away solar heaters, blowing holes in ceilings and forcing us to stay at home in front of the computer in worn sweatpants, in fancy wool slippers and with the heat spreader on maximum.
But with all due respect to Barbara the Storm, there are several other equally important Barbaras who left - and still leave - a mark on the world.
And unlike the storm, as far as we know, these barbarians did not tear a single solar heater from the roof, nor will they disrupt our plans for the coming days.
Get them.
Barbra Streisand
Undoubtedly the most famous Barbara of them all.
Streisand, the 80-year-old American-Jewish singer-actress, known to us thanks to eternal hits such as "Woman in Love" and "Somewhere" and thanks to her roles in films such as "Intel", "Hello, Dolly" and of course "A Star Is Born", is considered one of The greatest female artists ever.
With a career spanning six decades, Streisand is among the only artists to have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony (Award from the Theater Association of America).
We wish her long life and good health.
Barbara Walters
The revered Jewish-American journalist passed away last December, at the age of 93. Walters was without a doubt one of the most important and influential media women of all time, who began her professional career as a journalist's assistant, and over the years became a central cog in the team of the important investigative program "20/20".

Walters frequently interviewed prominent international leaders.
Among other things, she conducted a joint interview with Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat prior to the signing of the peace agreement with Egypt, and spoke with controversial leaders such as Fidel Castro and Vladimir Putin.
However, it was her interview with Monica Lewinsky that broke US ratings records for a news program, with 74 million viewers.
Barbara Hershey
The 75-year-old Hershey, also of Jewish origin, has never been defined as a first-rate Hollywood star, but this actress has an impressive and highly respected resume.
She was nominated for an Oscar for her role in the film "Portrait of a Lady" from 1996, and starred in such well-known productions as "Hannah and Her Sisters", "The Last Temptation of Jesus", "Beaches", "On the Way Down", "Black Swan" and " the evil inside".

Barbara Bush
The first lady of the United States and the wife of the 41st President George W. Bush (Sr.) died in 2018, at the age of 92.

Barbara Corcoran
The 73-year-old real estate tycoon from New Jersey is known to the general public precisely as a television star, thanks to her many years of participation in the American version of "The Sharks".
