How old was Barbra Streisand when she had her son?
Singer Barbra Streisand, still elated over the birth of her first child, said Friday: “My God, I'm a mother. I'm a little girl myself, and now I'm a mother.” Miss Streisand, 24, whose looks and singing style have made her a tremendous show business attraction, gave birth to a son at Mount Sinai Hospital Thursday.
In 1966 Streisand gave birth to their son, Jason Gould, whom she loved dearly (and still does today). Streisand frequently brought Jason with her to rehearsals and film shoots, rather than having to hire a babysitter, and she enjoyed having him around while she was working.

While they have no children of their own, the twosome are the proud parents — and grandparents — of their blended brood.
That session was the first time Streisand ever asserted herself as an artist, which also became her "first moment of inspiration." She has an older brother, Sheldon, and a half-sister, singer Roslyn Kind, from her mother's remarriage to Louis Kind in 1950.
Streisand and Dion's friendship goes back to the 90s and the two even recorded a single together — "Tell Him" — in 1997. Angelil's funeral is set to be held Friday afternoon in Montreal.
She was born 'Barbara,' but changed her name … sort of. "Well, I was 18 and I wanted to be unique, but I didn't want to change my name because that was too false. Let's see, if I take out the 'a,' it's still 'Barbara,' but it's unique."
Streisand also recalls how she and her former partner, producer Jon Peters, once considered Elvis Presley to co-star with her in 1976 music drama “A Star is Born,” before the role went to Kris Kristofferson. She even flew to Las Vegas to meet with Presley in person.
