Barbra Streisand Had Her Cherished Dog Samantha Cloned

Barbra Streisand is making headlines with the eyebrow raising revelation that two of her dogs are clones of her beloved late dog, Sammie. 

The Way We Were star told Variety that Miss Violet and Miss Scarlett, were cloned from her 14-year-old Coton du Tulear Samantha, who died in 2017. Before Sammie passed away, Streisand had cells taken from her mouth and stomach.

“They have different personalities,” the 75-year-old says. “I’m waiting for them to get older so I can see if they have her [Samantha’s] brown eyes and seriousness.”
