FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRESS RELEASE ATTACHED

Streisand Returns in the Classic Love Story A Star Is Born
Academy Award® & Golden Globe® Award Winner for Best Original Song "Evergreen"

First Time on DVD December 6

Bonus Features Include Streisand Commentary, Remastered Dolby Digital® 5.1 Soundtrack, Additional Scenes/Alternate Takes and Wardrobe Tests

Available in 5 DVD Gift Set including The Main Event, Nuts, Up The Sandbox and What’s Up Doc?

Burbank, Calif., June 13, 2005 – The incomparable talent of Streisand, the magnetism of Kris Kristofferson and the reckless world of rock ‘n’ roll create a winning combination in A Star Is Born which debuts on DVD December 6 from Warner Home Video (WHV). This 1976 version of the classic screen love story includes audio commentary from Streisand, a remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, additional scenes and wardrobe tests, also with Streisand commentary.

In addition to the DVD debut of A Star Is Born, WHV will re-package the original Barbra Streisand Collection DVD gift set. Priced at $49.92 SRP, it will now feature five of the actress’s memorable films in all-new amaray packaging: A Star Is Born, The Main Event, Nuts, Up The Sandbox and What’s Up Doc? A Star Is Born may be purchased individually at $19.97 SRP ; the other four titles in the gift set will also be available separately, re-priced at $14.97 SRP.

A Star Is Born was nominated for four Academy Awards® and won five Golden Globes®, including Best Picture, Actress, Actor and Original Score. Paul Williams, Kenny Loggins, Leon Russell and others worked with Streisand on the popular song score, topped by the Streisand/Williams hit "Evergreen" which won both the Oscar® and Golden Globe® as Best Original Song.

The story centers around rock star John Norman (Kristofferson) whose career has peaked. One night, after a concert, he stumbles into a club where he sees a singing group fronted by young singer Esther Hoffman (Streisand). The two quickly fall in love, although Esther has trouble with John's rock star lifestyle. One night, a typically burned-out John lets Esther sing a few songs at one of his shows and before long she's the talk of the record business. While Esther's star begins to rise, John's continues to sink, and while she desperately tries to help him clean up and focus on his music, it may be too late to save him.

The 1937 version of A Star Is Born, starring Janet Gaynor & Fredric March, captured seven Academy Award nominations and won one (Best Screenplay); the 1954 version, with Judy Garland & James Mason, was nominated for six Oscars.

A Star Is Born DVD Special Features include:
* Commentary by Barbra Streisand
* Wardrobe Tests: with commentary by Barbra Streisand. Includes montage cut to the song "Queen Bee" from the original wardrobe tests.
* Additional Scenes with Optional On/Off Commentary by Barbra Streisand
