Barbra, later known as Barbra Quarterly, was a fanzine about Barbra Streisand.
Barbra magazine paved the way for future fan magazines and was a pre-Internet way for fans to keep informed about Barbra's career. It had regular features like “Letters That Cross in the Mail” (reader correspondence), “Extra, Extra” (the latest Streisand news), and “Don't Believe What You Read” (nonsense written about Streisand). James Spada says the Barbra staff was a “core group of Streisand fans who wanted to participate in the magazine. We met some extraordinarily talented people—good writers who were willing to work for practically nothing, which is all we could pay them!”[1]
