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 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 (musical and film) to the 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.
