However, the singer has always been scared to go under the knife, so much so that she has not considered piercing her ears. Winfrey agreed with her and said she was glad she did not try to change herself because of people's opinions.

Although she resisted getting work done on her face, the singer only fully realized her beauty when the makeup artist, Bob Schulenberg, made her aware of her natural beauty. She had never been aware of her beautiful features until he highlighted them.

Streisand did not change much, she said people asked her to change her name, but she only removed an "a" to make it shorter, but her face and body stayed the same. She was not willing to change her nose because it was part of her heritage.
