Timeless: Live in Concert, recorded at her Las Vegas show on New Year's Eve 1999, takes as its subject the star herself. It opens with a dramatization of her first, amateur recording session, with young Lauren Frost playing a part described in the credits as "Young Girl," though Streisand later refers to her as "mini-me." Frost doesn't get too far before being joined by Streisand herself on a stirring version of "Something's Coming" from West Side Story. The rest of "Act One" traces Streisand's career from her club days to her movie performances. "Act Two" has less of a narrative structure, though it is equally autobiographical, with Streisand displaying and commenting on videos of herself performing with other stars and building up to the stroke of midnight with a combination of old, recent, and new specially written songs. At 57 that night, Streisand remains in good voice.

In 1916, Robinson was a successful vaudeville performer and considered the finest tap dancer of his generation. At the peak of his career, he was the highest paid Black entertainer, but for all the joy he gave others, his life was anything but happy, there was a great deal of tragedy in himself. He died broke and penniless.

Кризис в развитии телевизионных шоу заставляет чернокожего сценариста Пьера Делакруа прибегнуть к использованию давно забытого в Америке жанра — менестель-шоу, изначально существовавшего в середине 19 века. В те времена в шоу участвовали только белые актеры, игравшие роль чернокожих. Теперь сценарист решает использовать только афро-американцев, причем содержание шоу становится весьма не политкорректным и даже расистским, что, тем не менее, не мешает ему стать хитом и перевернуть жизнь всех связанных с ним людей с ног на голову…
