Exclusive Rare Barbara Streisand Players Magazine Original Photography Collector

The Players Showcase Magazine Spring 1965 Streisand: Happy Days Are Here (At Last) “At the age of 22, Streisand is hardly a seasoned veteran of show business. And the suddenness of her success, which makes her adjustment to her new life more difficult, shows through in her conversation. I waited for Barbra in her dressing room at the Winter Garden, chatting comfortably with a pretty, taffy blonde named Eileen Peterson, who handles Barbra's public relations through the New York office of Sorters, O'Rourke, and Sabinson, and with Frank Eck, The PLAYERS Showcase photographer. When Barbra entered, she glanced quickly at us, said "Hello" quietly as I shook her fragile hand, then proceeded between us into the adjoining room, which contained her dressing table and closet. She was polite, but very distant.” Frank Eck quite a bit of glamour in the late 50s and early 60s - he photographed six Playboy Playmates during that time period - but there is scant information published about him, either in magazines and books at the time, or on the internet. This is a very rare magazine, pretty much impossible to find, and the images were created specifically and only for publication in this magazine. By purchasing this magazine you have physical copies of some wonderful behind-the-scenes photographs of Barbra Streisand at the very beginning of her career  Please carefully examine photos.
