Barbra Streisand offered a mischievously clever headline suggestion for her Variety cover shoot this week; send in the clones.
More than just a pun on the Stephen Sondheim hit, it’s a commentary on her love for her dog Samantha.
Before her beloved Coton du Tulear died, aged 14, last year the singer arranged for cells to be taken from the dogs mouth and stomach and cultured into two clone ‘replicas’ of the pooch.
The two dogs are now lively puppies called Miss Violet and Miss Scarlett.
