He just stared at my forehead.” The “Funny Girl” actress said she then confronted Patinkin, 70, about his behavior and was startled to find that “The Princess Bride” star thought they were going to have a more intimate dynamic. “His face crumpled and he said, ‘I thought we were going to have a more personal relationship,’ ” Streisand wrote.
” ‘What?’ I had no idea what he was talking about,” Streisand continued. “[He said,] ‘I thought we were going to have an affair.’ I looked at him as if he were crazy . .
