TRIVIA:

Artist with Grammy nominations in the most categories -- 9.
Artist with longest career between top-20 hits on the Billboard pop music charts (32 years, 7 months between "People" [debuted 4 April 1964] and "I Finally Found Someone" [debuted 23 November 1996]).
In a controversial decision, she was allowed to become a voting member of the Academy prior to her first film, _Funny Girl (1968)_ (qv), even being released and won the Oscar in a tie with 'Katharine Hepburn' (qv) in _The Lion in Winter (1968)_ (qv) a few months later. Presumably she voted for herself, so if she hadn't been allowed to join early, she wouldn't have won.
Is good friends with 'Shirley MacLaine' (qv) and 'Donna Karan' (qv).
Turned down the role of Eva Peron in _Evita (1996)_ (qv). She was the first choice of 'Ken Russell (I)' (qv), who was the first director attached to the film.
