After 27 years of marriage, James Brolin still vividly remembers every detail of the blind date that led him to fall in love with his wife, Barbra Streisand.

"That night was something," Brolin, 84, told People about his first date with Streisand. "It was like somebody called and said, 'Would you be interested in a date with her?' And what I said was, 'I like what she says between songs,' and I was a real nut for women singers — especially jazz and bar singers and romantic singers at the time. So that got my interest."

"I had been out of a marriage for three years and really saying, 'Who needs that again?' But we both agreed to go. We're on our way and halfway there, we both picked up the phone to cancel and something told us, 'No. Let's just do it.'"

"We met there. I didn't look at all like she had thought I would because I'd been, for seven years, all bearded and curly-haired in ‘Hotel.’ She saw me and went, 'That's not the guy I came to see.' I had cut off all my hair. She finally came up to sit with all the people at the table and came behind me and said, 'Who f----- up your hair?'" he recalled.

"Well, that's when I fell in love. I thought, 'This girl tells the truth right from the beginning. I'm crazy about her,'" Brolin added. "And then we've really been pretty much together ever since then."
