Famous funny lady, Fanny Brice, was one of the many stars who got her start in the Ziegfeld Follies.
Born with a gift for comedy, an excellent singing voice, and plenty of acting chops, Fanny Brice took the world by storm.
From humble beginnings and a less-than enviable love life, Fanny rose to mega-stardom. She will forever be remembered through two films made about her, Funny Girl and Funny Lady, starring the incomparable, Barbara Streisand.
