Jennifer Aniston Channels Barbra Streisand For Harper's Bazaar

Jennifer Aniston channels Barbra Streisand in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, on newsstands Aug. 17.

Aniston, who stars in the new comedy The Switch, pays homage to the legendary entertainer re-creating some of Barbra's iconic shots in a series of shots by Mark Seliger.

Check out some highlights from Aniston's interview:

On first meeting Barbara: "I've loved her since I was a kid, and all of a sudden there she is, and she's just like someone you've always known. You know when you meet people you idolize and then you walk away from the conversation thinking, 'Well, that was a disappointment; they were kinder and more fabulous in my mind'? Well, she was wonderful, and you could talk to her about anything. . . So, I happened to be talking to her and Jim [Streisand's husband, James Brolin] when it struck midnight. They said, 'Excuse us,' kissed each other, and then, very politely, kissed me."

On sharing ambitions with Barbara: "I had a long conversation with Barbra about directing because I directed a short a couple years ago, and if I don't do it again soon, I'm going to burst out of my skin. And we also love interior design. Also, we are people who have been put in the spotlight, for better or for worse, and you just keep riding, and you keep overcoming, and you just stay true to what you love to do."
