On September 8, 2003 the accomplished host of \"Inside the Actor\'s Studio\", James Lipton welcomed Barbra Streisand for a milestone interview at the New School University Actors Studio Drama School\'s Tishman Theater in New York City.
\"Streisand\'s presence is a fitting tribute, as Lipton has been requesting that she be a guest on \"Inside the Actors Studio\" since the show\'s inception. One of the most accomplished performers of all-time, Streisand\'s numerous awards include two Oscars, seven Emmys, eight Grammys, eleven Golden Globes, an American Film Institute award and a Cecil B. DeMille Award, among others.
Masterfully conducted by Lipton it featured one of the greatest and most accomplished entertainers of our time giving insights to the guests at the Theater, answering questions spanning the decades of her career with endearing charm, wit and honesty.
The 2-hours-long program aired on March 21, 2004, featuring approximately 90 minutes of interview plus illustrating images and movie clips. However, close to five hours of interview were recorded.
Given Mrs. Streisands unique status as on of the most versatile and accomplished entertainers in the history of recording arts, film and television, James Liptons interview is nothing short of historic and of strong interest to Ms. Streisands Fans, fellow artists and entertainers and the general public.
We hope to collect signatures showing this interest so that \"Inside the Actor\'s Studio\" and Mister Lipton may consider a seconds special or the release of the interview on DVD.
Seeing this level of interest reassures me that I am not the only one who recognizes the historical weight of those lost hours of footage. It has been a long and exhausting process, but knowing there are so many people who value this archive keeps me going.

Its a crime to keep that much history hidden away. Get the full tape released to the public!

The world really needs the rest of that footage. Don't hide art.

Honestly one of the best episodes ever. I have watched it a dozen times but hearing there is 5 hours of footage is crazy. Just put it on dvd or streaming already.

Big fan of both Barbra and James. Would watch every single second of that uncut footage if they put it out. Please make it happen!

Why on earth is 3 hours of that interview still in a vault somewhere? Release it all! She is a legend and we deserve to see the full thing.
