It’s “No Wonder” she threatened to replace him.
Barbra Streisand revealed that she almost fired Mandy Patinkin from the 1983 film"Yentl" after he wanted to start an affair with her.Barbra Streisand: Insulting comments about my ‘odd-looking’ face ‘hurt’” that she once threatened to replace Mandy Patinkin in the 1983 “Yentl” after he said he wanted to have an affair with her while he was already married.
The “Funny Girl” actress said she then confronted Patinkin, 70, about his behavior and was startled to find that “The Princess Bride” star thought they were going to have a more intimate dynamic. “‘What?’ I had no idea what he was talking about,” Streisand continued. “ ‘I thought we were going to have an affair.’ I looked at him as if he were crazy … 1) I would never have an affair with an actor I was directing, 2) he was married, and 3) I wasn’t at all attracted to him.”“There was a moment, a week or so into the shoot, when Mandy and I were doing a scene in the yeshiva,” Streisand, 81, wrote. “I think he had two or three lines, but he wouldn’t look me in the eye.
“By this point Mandy had been making my life miserable for months, and I just couldn’t bear the thought of making love with him,” the “Way We Were” actress said. “I’m not that good an actress.”According to the Broadway legend, she “didn’t want to hurt his feelings” so she “simply said, ‘I don’t operate that way.'”The EGOT winner claimed that due to her strenuous relationship with Patinkin, she was forced to scrap the sex scene between them.“So I changed it. I rewrote the scene.
