Burt Bacharach The year 1969 marked, perhaps, the most successful Bacharach-David collaboration, the Oscar-winning "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head", written for and prominently featured in the acclaimed film "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". The two were awarded a Grammy for Best Cast album of the year for "Promises, Promises" and the score was also nominated for a Tony award. Other Oscar nominations for Best Song in the latter half of the 1960s were for "The Look Of Love", "What's New Pussycat" and "Alfie". Throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, Bacharach continued to write and produce for artists, compose for
Barbra Streisand and "For Pete's Sake" (1974) with Michael Sarrazin. One of her most famous roles during this period was in the drama "The Way We Were" (1973) with Robert Redford, for which she received an Academy Award nomination as Best Actress. She earned her second Academy Award for Best Original Song (with lyricist Paul Williams) for the song "Evergreen", from "A Star Is Born" in 1976, in which she also starred. Along with Paul Newman, Sidney Poitier and later Steve McQueen, Streisand formed First Artists Production Company in 1969 so actors could secure properties and develop movie projects for themselves.
