When Barbra Streisand was first mentioned as a possibility for Fanny, composer Jule Styne sent his assistant to see her nightclub act. The assistant returned and wasn't very positive. However, Styne went to see her at the Bon Soir and was quite enthusiastic, returning several nights in a row. When Streisand auditioned, even the usually-stoic Jerome Robbins applauded. However, Fran Stark, Fanny Brice's daughter, didn't share the enthusiasm. She said, "That girl play my mother? I wouldn't hire her as my maid!"
