- Urban Myths: When Joan Kissed Barbra (Sky Arts) Starring Katherine Ryan and Jessica Barden, is based on Joan Rivers' recollections of an off Broadway play 'Driftwood' that she starred in with Barbra Streisand
- Based on Joan Rivers' recollections of a play she starred in with Barbra Streisand. Streisand has remained tight-lipped about the whole experience. A sixteen year old Barbra Streisand (Barden), is in rehearsals for 'Driftwood', an off Broadway play, when a woman, dressed head to toe in fur, bursts through the door. She's Joan Molinsky, although the world will soon come to know her as Joan Rivers (Ryan). Joan is failing as a club comic and wants to turn her hand to more serious artistic pursuits. Unfortunately, the only part available is 'Man in Black', which Joan blithely demands is gender-swapped to 'Woman in Black'. Joan hasn't bothered to read the play and therefore doesn't realise that the 'Woman in Black' and Barbra's character, Lorna, have a love scene together.
