Streisand continued, noting, \u201cI never went to college. I always thought acting was my education, in trying to understand the character \u2026 the whole process was fascinating to me. \u2026 For a couple of hours people can sit in a theater and escape their own troubles. What an idea: moving pictures on a screen.\u201d<\/p>\n
She noted that the studio heads of the 1940s were doing the same, with Louis B. Mayer, the Warner Brothers and Samuel L. Goldwyn all changing their Jewish last names after immigrating to Hollywood from Europe in the early 20th century. \u201cThey were all fleeing the prejudice they faced in eastern Europe, simply because of their religion. And now I dream of a world where such prejudice is a thing of the past,\u201d she said, earning cheers from the audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always believed in the power of the truth and I think really good actors rely on that,\u201d Streisand said.<\/p>\n
