Roslyn Kind (born January 9, 1951) is an American actress and songwriter. She is the maternal half-sister of Barbra Streisand. She has been performing on Broadway and other venues since her teenage years.
Kind was born in 1951. Her parents were Louis Kind and Diana Rosen Streisand Kind. They divorced when Roslyn was six. She was brought up in the Conservative movement of Judaism, going to temple and Yeshivah as a child.
Kind's inspiration for being a singer came from her grandfather, who was a cantor, and her mother, a former opera singer. Kind recorded her debut album two months after graduating from high school in June 1968. The album, titled Give Me You, was released in January 1969, at the same time as her first professional performance, at the Hungry I in San Francisco.
