My Name Is Barbra

Description

The long-awaited memoir by the superstar of stage, screen, recordings, and
television Barbra Streisand is by any account a living legend, a woman who in
a career spanning six decades has excelled in every area of entertainment. She
is among the handful of EGOT winners (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) and has
one of the greatest and most recognizable voices in the history of popular
music. She has been nominated for a Grammy 46 times, and with Yentl she became
the first woman to write, produce, direct, and star in a major motion picture.
In My Name Is Barbra, she tells her own story about her life and extraordinary
career, from growing up in Brooklyn to her first star-making appearances in
New York nightclubs to her breakout performance in Funny Girl on stage and
winning the Oscar for that performance on film. Then came a long string of
successes in every medium in the years that followed. The book is, like Barbra
herself, frank, funny, opinionated, and charming. She recounts her early
struggles to become an actress, eventually turning to singing to earn a
living; the recording of some of her acclaimed albums; the years of effort
involved in making Yentl; her direction of The Prince of Tides; her
friendships with figures ranging from Marlon Brando to Madeleine Albright; her
political advocacy; and the fulfillment she’s found in her marriage to James
Brolin. No entertainer’s memoir has been more anticipated than Barbra
Streisand’s, and this engrossing and delightful book will be eagerly welcomed
by her millions of fans. Read more
