How the Spice Girls are helping me remember my late mum this Mother's Day

Hollywood icons come no greater than singing sensation and A Star Is Born actress Barbra Streisand.Since bursting onto our stereos in the 1960s, she has become one of the world's biggest selling artists of all time - as well as one of the most decorated composers, actresses and singers.Hailed as a recording legend, she has also led a very interesting life away from our screens and stereos - including her philanthropy and political work, as well as a number of high profile romances and revealing a secret about her 'real' name.To celebrate Barbra's 80th birthday, Daily Star looks back on the life of one of the greatest entertainers of all time.Global music megastar and Hollywood actress Barbra Streisand was born on April 4, 1942 in Brooklyn, New York to parents Diane and Emanuel Streisand.However at the age of just 15 months old, Barbra's father Emanuel Streisand died after suffering a seizure at the age of 34.Speaking at a Q&A session at ArcLight Hollywood, the actress and singer revealed that she wrote the 1983 film Yentl, as a way to explore the father and daughter relationship she never had."It just meant a lot to me to be able to make a story where I could create a father, a father I never had because he died when I was 15 months old.

Every Fast film I make must, at the core, always honour my brother Pablo.”A post shared by Vin Diesel (@vindiesel)Elsewhere he explained that he walked Walker’s daughter Meadow down the aisle “with pride and honour” and that when Walker’s mother asked him to “bring Brian back to the screen well, I don’t have to tell you how serious I take it.”The Fast & Furious franchise would “never have been here without the profound love and brotherhood between Dom and Brian, established in 2001,” he added.
