Barbra Streisand was 30 and then 31 years old during the filming and release of The Way We Were.

Quick Scoop

  • Barbra Streisand was born on April 24, 1942.
  • The Way We Were was released in October 1973, so Streisand was 31 at release, and about 30–31 during production.

Why that age range?

  • Principal photography on major studio films of that era typically occurred within the year or so before release, placing filming around 1972–1973 for a 1973 release.
  • Given her April 1942 birth date, she turned 30 in April 1972 and 31 in April 1973, which brackets the likely filming window.

In short

  • Answer: She was in her early thirties, specifically about 30–31 years old, in The Way We Were.
