My Name Is Barbra

"At nearly 1,000 pages long, Barbra Streisand’s memoir is the ultimate exercise in directorial control. Over the course of 59 chapters, Streisand recounts her life as a series of odysseys, and she the ever-triumphant victor. Frankly, she has earned it. Our culture loves to press pause on Streisand, seeing her only as Babs – the consummate prima donna, our forever leading lady. But in doing so, audiences, critics and biographers have failed to acknowledge the shrewd image-maker she has always been: the architect of her persona and performance."

"She's a goddess, a phenomenal storyteller and laugh-out-loud funny."
