Happy Birthday, Manitoba
January 30, 1970
Actress Barbra Streisand joined Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau Wednesday night in singing happy birthday to the province of Manitoba at a National Arts Centre party in Ottawa in honor of Manitoba's centennial. Miss Streisand was Trudeau's date for the evening which included a performance by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Company. Winnipeg is capital of the province.
[Above: Streisand's ensemble was designed by Arnold Scaasi. It was auctioned in 2004. “Fully lined cream wool jacket trimmed at the collar and cuffs in fur and accented with rhinestones and beads. The full length dress with empire waist consists of a silk bodice with silk chiffon overlay, decorated in floral motif with straw threads and unique rhinestones and beads. The skirt is cream colored wool. Dress zips up the back. The designers label is in the dress and the jacket.”
