Cover Story

Barbra Streisand's latest album was released as her Playboy Interview was winding up, and the pose she had struck for the album cover caused a stir. A couple of our editors were intrigued by it and asked Barbra if she'd do an even sexier pose--complete with Rabbit T-shirt--for us. She did and became the first female celebrity in 23 years to pose for our cover. During the photo session, she suddenly whipped off her shoes and socks, grinned at the editors and said, "Hey, guys, now you can say I took it off for Playboy!"
