LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Barbra Streisand, a legendary figure in entertainment, divulged some delightful and intriguing revelations during an interesting segment on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.'

In a fun-filled session labeled the 'Colbert Questionert', Streisand engaged in a playful Q&A, offering candid insights into her life, preferences, and personal experiences.

The 81-year-old actress engaged in a pre-recorded segment, part of an extensive interview aired in November to promote her memoir 'My Name Is Barbra'. The 'Questionert' involved answering 15 queries aimed at 'penetrating the soul'.

Roses and babies: Barbra Streisand's favorite scents

During the segment, Stephen, 59, queried Streisand about her favorite scent, to which she promptly replied, "Babies."

When Stephen inquired whether she meant the scent of baby heads, she clarified, "Babies, just babies. Also roses. And I have a new rose now that's a piece of magic. I have a Barbra Streisand rose. They named a rose after me."

Amid congratulations from Stephen, Streisand elaborated, "And I picked it for the fragrance and the color of it."

From Lasting Love to 'Barbra's baby' rose

She shared an intriguing anecdote about her experience with a unique rose called Lasting Love, revealing, "I have a rose called Lasting Love, I'll show it to you, outside my house.

Has a great fragrance. And one day I noticed off its same stem, a pink rose appeared. It's a red rose, okay? A pink rose appeared. I've named it Barbra's Baby."

Discussing the new rose, Streisand mentioned the careful scrutiny it underwent, stating, "Barbra's Baby is going to make its appearance into the world, folks."



 

Insights beyond roses: Streisand's candid revelations

During the 'Questionert', Streisand also detailed her favorite sandwich, her dislike for the smell of Clorox, her preference for dogs over cats, and described the rest of her life in five words as "Looking forward to peace."

The 'Colbert Questionert' is a recurring segment on the CBS talk show, with previous participants including Emily Blunt, Cate Blanchett, and Mariah Carey.

Stephen Colbert, the show's host, had to cancel several shows in November due to health issues but has continued to conduct engaging interviews and segments on his show, despite occasional setbacks.
