April 30 (UPI) -- Barbra Streisand says she felt accepted as a female director while working on her 1983 movie Yentl in England, but did not find the same support when she returned to the United States.
"It was because they had a woman prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, and they had a queen, so what was I? A little, first-time director. They were used to it," Streisand said during a conversation with director Robert Rodriguez during the Tribeca Film Festival Saturday.
