Barbara Streisand has made donations to the 3 leading Democrats, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards.
Streisand contributed the maximum allowable amount by an individual, $2300, to all 3 to help give them financial backing to enable them to be competitive during the primary process.
She has signalled the possibility that she may donate to other candidates as time goes on.
Streisand said she was excited by the quality of the candidates and looks forward to issues being discussed over the coming months.
