Cher praises Streisand: ‘She still has extraordinary hands’
By Nick Levine
Cher has delivered more Twitter gold after re-watching classic Barbra Streisand/Robert Redford movie The Way We Were.
The 1973 weepie follows a couple who meet at college and eventually marry – only to find that their ideological differences drive them apart. The film’s title song, performed by Streisand, went on to win an Oscar.
“Watching #BarbraStreisand “THE WAY WE WERE”,” Cher tweeted last night (April 27). “She Was BEAUTIFUL In It.LOVELY SKIN & AMAZING HANDS! THEY’RE STILL EXTRAORDINARY.”
In recent weeks Cher has tweeted about everything from politics, branding US right-wing group the Tea Party a “cesspool”, to a “delicious”-looking Magnum ice cream she had seen on TV. “I Think I Could Eat a “BOX”,” she said, before adding a ghost emoji.
She has also used Twitter to hit back at a Canadian music critic who had mocked one of her gigs.
Cher’s ‘Dressed to Kill Tour’ began last month (March) and is crossing North America until mid-July. At present, no UK and Ireland dates have been added to the schedule.
