I can come up with some pretty wild, crazy, and sleazy (and, in some cases, sinister) scenarios. Would you like to hear them, perhaps? 
Go ahead and tell us your scenarios, as long as you don’t mind us ripping them to shreds.
I don’t believe for a moment that Barbra Streisand ever did a porn film.
There MAY be a 60s-era porn film featuring an actress who resembles Barbra, but I think there’s another reason for the rumor: in the early 70s, Barba did a bedroom scene with George Segal in mainstream Hollywood sex comedy “The Owl and the Pussycat.” In the process of filming, some footage of a naked Barbra was shot, though almost all of it was removed during the editing process.
Years later, porn magazines found this “lost” footage, and started publishing snippets of the film that had been left on the editing room floor.
From this, I think a lot of people drew the erroneous conclusion that Ms. Streisand had done a porno flick.

I haven’t seen the footage, but the cite above notes that
it was made ‘when miniskirts were in fashion.’
That eliminates, I believe, any time before Babs was truly
famous, so I think all the speculation that she did it
during the short time she struggled after high school is
wrong.
Well, I highly doubt that she did a porn film, but I think the, “No one famous would do that” argument is bogus.
Pamela Anderson, anyone?
Bob Crane?
Rob Lowe?
I’m willing to bet that there are lots of stars out there with a home-made porn tape of themselves hidden away somewhere (or a whole collection of them). Taping yourself having sex seems to be a fairly common hobby, and I’d guess that it’s even more so for people who live in front of the camera, are beautiful, and have big egos.
Babs could have made one either privately or at some orgy of friends or something, and it got out of her control and published. I’d have no trouble at all believing that. I just don’t see any evidence for it.
Don’t forget we had a Miss America (who is now very successful now) lose her crown because of these kind of pics.
I’ve seen the pics of Babs and I don’t care if it isn’t her, it sure would fool the POPE.
I saw Bab’s rebuttal of this rumour in some magazine…don’t remember which one.
Anyway, she totally denied it. She said the giveaway was the hands. Bab’s has long, slender fingers and evidently the “porno babs” had short stubby fingers.
She’s right about that

Methinks Astro hath been protesting entirely too much.
Is there anything you want to tell us?
Yeah actually there is. I resisted but with your latest observation I just can’t contain my amusement any longer.
I’m not a big Barbra Streisand fan by any measure but this hilarious nonsense is actually making me feel some compassion for her. With all due respect the chances of this really being Barbra Streisand are so remote you would have a better shot of being beaned by a Martian meteorite walking down Main Street at high noon. The degree to which some otherwise intelligent people will suspend common sense so that their favorite flog fantasy isn’t damaged is truly precious.
Having resolved that this is not a “hidden” video and that there is a camera man wandering the room shooting at varous angles and magnifications we have to imagine that this intensely private (in her personal life), very intelligent, young, up and coming, actress/singer teenager decides in
the moral context of the late 50’s early 60’s to make something that looks like a porn loop.
She’s hasn’t hit the big time yet at this point but she’s a very popular singer at the high end nightclubs in NT and most assuredly is not missing any meals during this time. So this would have to be a work of ego and not economic need. A teenager would have to decide during the early 60’s. “You know, I am such an amazing ride that I’ve gotta film this for my archives. Lights camera action!”
That she would even consider doing this once the record and movie contracts began to roll in, and this shrewd and ambitious woman has an image to maintain and protect, pushes dis-belief past the point that even the most ardent chicken choker could entertain.
As I said previously anything is possible but that doesn’t mean it’s probable. That a woman who is Barbra Streisand’s doppelganger would make a porn video is a lot more probable than someone as careful with her public image as Streisand.
So to sum it is a lot more likely that a Barbra Streisand lookalike is sweating to the oldies in the grainy film being referred to but this of couse a lot less fun than imagining that Barbra, THE Barbra, “Babs” is making like the beast with two backs for your viewing pleasure.
As a final note your comment was especially funny in that mine (though I resisted) was going to be…
“Man… you boys have a big emotional investment in this little fantasy. I suspect numerous boxes of kleenex have been sacrificed on this particular altar.”
In any event have your fun fantasy if you must and please don’t get any on the rug.
So? Did Dr. Laura really pose nude or are the fingers too short?
Polaroids between two people I could easily believe. Hell I’d even expect that for any adventurous couple in the 60’s and 70’s. Hiring a cameraman to film you and be willing to go at in front of him is a whole different kettle of fish even beyond the other stuff I mentioned.
I’ve seen it. It’s from a black and white stag film, looks like Super-8 shot in a poorly lit hotel room. I saw it on a “pornography of the stars” compilation which also contained a clip from Sly Stallone’s (unmistakeable and undenied) The Italian Stallion and a (very dubious and shot outdoors from long distance) short of someone supposed to be Chuck Connors with a dude in a Marine uniform.
My opinion might carry some weight, in a perverse sort of way. I’m the guy who has been beaten down on this very board for mistaking the girl who did Cindy Brady in a film called Taboo II, and for thinking I saw Warren Beatty in Night of the Hunter. I still think Toshiro Mifune might have made a cameo in Fistful of Dollars. In short, I am the Seethruart of mistaken celebrities. Here is my opinion:
First of all, it’s a bad porno. If you watch a lot of porno, like I do, you know that when I say “bad” in reference to a late-50’s/early-60’s stag film, I mean that it really, really sucks. Furthermore, it appears to have been transferred to video long ago, and it is sorely degraded. There is one feature which the most severe degradation can never erase, and that is the “actress’” nose. However, as far as the “stubby hands” observation goes, I would suggest that it’s all relative compared to the rather impressive male participant in the film.
I’m here to tell you that I can’t tell if it’s Babs or not. It is a very young girl with a very distinctive nose, and that’s all I can tell. Coming from me, that should mean something.
You think that Barbara is the only person with that sort of snout? Come on–that’s why cosmetic surgery was invented in the first place.
Oh, yeah. I should add that there are two men in the film, but one, um, completed his part early on and stepped off screen well before the money shot.
No, the thought of Babs naked sickens me. I just think that someone who has proven to be that big of a wench prolly had some seemy stuff in her past, a la Joan Crawford or Dr. Laura. My fantasies are more of the Rachel Ryan or Debi Diamond variety. Thanks for asking.
There is one fact that clinches that it is not actually “Babs”. The fact that any and all watchers have not gouged out their eyes with flaming hot pokers.
The thing that I find interesting is that some actually seem excited about really seeing Streisand in a porno. Yes, to each his own, but in my opinion, even connoisseurs of German poo films have better taste.
I could see it from a degradation standpoint: oh, yeah, you’re so great now, but I remember when you were sporting the pearl necklace with the matching earrings. Now THAT was elegant!
For those of you that think she’s a hottie: you may be interested in some steamy photos I have of Bea Arthur being naughty with Ernest Borgnine, and then in comes Charles Bronson…Awwww, yeah, baby.
Um, yeah.
How about we stick to the facts on this one. M’kay?
I don’t expect anybody to believe, but back around 1978-79, I witnessed the 8mm silent film entitled “Barbra”. Came in a green box. To cut to the chase, it was her…and 15 other fraternity brothers all agreed, although we were highly skeptical before viewing it. To be frank, we were in utter shock. The few pics I’ve seen on the net as of late are almost completely degraded to the point of it being almost impossible to tell, but if you can find any old porn dealers to speak to, they’ll totally verify that it was her. Trust me, it was…and zzzero chance of a mistake. Turns out the Babs tried to prevent its distribution in court, but failing that, rumor has it that she tried to buy up all the copies that were in the channels. The person who showed us the video way back then had “shady” connections, and as much as we begged, he refused to let us make a copy. I can’t even imagine how much it would be worth today, but in 1979, three of us offered him $100 to dupe it. Flash forward 30 years, and of course, nobody believes any of us. The scene that proved it was her to us was when she was going down on a guy, the camera zooms in to about 5 ft away, and right after the guy orgasms, she picks her head up and looks straight into the camera, jism dripping from the corner of her mouth. The owner of the film froze the projector right at that very moment, then exclaimed with a big shit-eating smile; “Ok, boys, WHO IS IT?!” There was dead silence in the room due to the shock. God’s honest truth. No mistaking her.
Well, I guess we can call it case closed then. Never mind logic, timelines, or probability. 16 drunken fratboys can’t be wrong.
We weren’t drunk at all, sir. In fact, it was parents weekend. The logic, timelines, etc. stand. The tape was made in the early 60’s, I believe, but then again, you are more than free to believe what you like. I don’t care. I know that I witnessed it and will take that truth to my grave. You are free to keep her on your own private pedestal for as long as it makes you feel secure, but I would testify in court if I had to that I saw her in a porn film with my very own eyes.
