Funny Face (1927 song)


"Funny Face" is a 1927 song composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin.
It was the title song of Funny Face, where it was introduced by Fred Astaire, and his sister, Adele.
In the 1957 cinematic version of Funny Face, Fred Astaire's character was loosely based on the career of Richard Avedon, who provided a number of the photographs seen in the film, including its most famous single image: an intentionally overexposed close-up of Audrey Hepburn's face in which only her famous features—her eyes, her eyebrows, and her mouth—are visible..
Barbra Streisand performed several lines of this song in her "Medley" on her studio album Color Me Barbra.
