The Owl and the Pussycat is a 1970 romantic comedy film directed by Herbert Ross and starring Barbra Streisand and George Segal. Barbra Streisand plays the role of a somewhat uneducated actress, model and part-time prostitute. She temporarily lives with an educated aspiring writer (Segal). Their differences are obvious, yet over time they begin to admire each other. Comedian/actor Robert Klein appears in a supporting role. Future adult/pornographic film star/actress Marilyn Chambers, in her film debut, plays Klein's girlfriend. (She was 17 during the film shoot and is credited as Evelyn Lang.)
