You don't remember it because it probably had not yet been written. This verse was written 20 years ago for the movie "Funny Girl" and the name should read Fanny Brice, the protagonist played by Barbra Streisand. Don't believe much of what you read on the Internet... (but you already knew that). Regards, Jim -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
