"Barbara Streisand has said that she is selling off hundreds of collectibles from her long-running career in order to raise money for her charity foundation. The star is planning to shift a total of 400 personal items, including stage costumes from films such as Funny Girl and Meet the Fockers, designer dresses, a baby grand piano, several pieces of fine art and an old phonograph she purchased at the age of 18.  Contactmusic quotes her as saying: &amp;quot;What good does it do in storage? Let someone else enjoy it. These things, they&amp;#039;re not forever. We pass them on and reap the benefits for something important.&amp;quot;  Darren Julien, president of Julien&amp;#039;s Auctions, stated that he is delighted at the range of items Streisand has chosen to sell, adding: &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s what&amp;#039;s great about this sale. It covers fine art, decorative art, which could fetch hundreds of thousands to smaller items for $100 (\u00C2\u00A362). There&amp;#039;s something for everyone.  &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s a living legend, a living icon and that&amp;#039;s what makes her collectable.&amp;quot;  Profits from the two-day auction, which starts on October 17, will be donated to the Streisand Foundation.
