Fans of Barbra Streisan will recognize the expression Hello Gorgeous as the first words that she uttered (as Fanny Brice) in the 1968 film Funny Girl, which also starred Omar Sharif. Streisand won the Academy Award for Best Actress, for her role in the film (an honor she shared with Katharine Hepburn for her role in The Lion in Winter). Streisand's comment when handed the famous Oscar statuette was, of course, "Hello Gorgeous."
