About This Item
Hardback. New. <p><b>The long-awaited memoir by the superstar of stage, screen, recordings, and television</b><b><br /><br />'Exhilarating ⦠leaves blood on the page ⦠My Name Is Barbra is 992 pages of startling honesty and self-reflection, deadpan parenthetical asides (including a running bit about how much she loves going to the dentist), encyclopedic recall of onstage outfits, and rigorous analyses of her filmsâ <i>Vanity Fair</i></b><br /><br />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 <i>Yentl</i> she became the first woman to write, produce, direct, and star in a major motion picture. In <i>My Name Is Barbra</i>, 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 <i>Funny Girl</i> (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 <i>Yentl</i>; her direction of <i>The Prince of Tides</i>; 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.<br /><br />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.</p>
