...Born might just be the death of Singer-Actor Kris Kristofferson. "I'll be a better actor as a result of this, but I'm not sure that I'll even give a damn," says the weary performer, considering the rigors of working with Barbra Streisand. The film features Barbra in the part played by Janet Gaynor back in 1937 and Judy Garland 17 years later.
