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 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.

Musical comedy of romantic errors set in 1920s New York. Dolly
Gallagher Levi (Barbra Streisand), recently widowed and living in
Yonkers, New York, is something of a society matchmaker. Hired to
find the perfect beau for the also just widowed millionaire Horace
Vandergelder (Walther Matthau), Dolly can't help but conclude that
it is she whom he should be marrying. Horace has his eye on Irene
Molloy, a pretty young thing that Dolly simply must get out of the
way if her plan is to succeed. Meanwhile two of Horace's young
employees Cornelius (Michael Crawford) and Barnaby decide to take
advantage of the boss's romantic mission to the city and follow him
for a glimpse of the urban high-life. Through a series of
coincidences the pair have to escape being discovered by Horace,
only to take refuge in Irene Molloy's hat emporium, with Cornelius
immediately falling in love with the owner, and Barnaby with her
assistant Minnie. The young lovers end up at a very expensive
restaurant with Dolly desperately trying to make sure that everyone
ends up with the right partner, and to claim Horace for her own.
New York Times best-selling writer Pat Conroy (1945-2016) inspired
a worldwide legion of devoted fans numbering in the millions, but
none are more loyal to him and more committed to sustaining his
literary legacy than the many writers he nurtured over the course
of his fifty-year writing life. In sharing their stories of Conroy,
his fellow writers honor his memory and advance our shared
understanding of his lasting impact on twentieth- and
twenty-first-century literary life in and well beyond the American
South. Conroy's was a messy fellowship of people from all walks of
life. His relationships were complicated, and people and places he
thought he'd left behind often circled back to him at crucial
moments. The pantheon of contributors includes Pulitzer Prize
winners Rick Bragg and Kathleen Parker; Grammy winners Barbra
Streisand and Janis Ian; Lillian Smith Award winners Anthony Grooms
and Mary Hood; National Book Award winner Nikky Finney; James Beard
Foundation Award winners Nathalie Dupree and Cynthia Graubart; a
corps of New York Times best-selling authors, including Ron Rash,
Sandra Brown, and Mary Alice Monroe; Conroy biographers Katherine
Clark and Catherine Seltzer; longtime Conroy friends Bernie Schein,
Cliff Graubart, John Warley, and Walter Edgar; Pat's students
Sallie Ann Robinson and Valerie Sayers; members of the Conroy
family; and many more. Each author in this collection shares a
slightly different view of Conroy. Through their voices, a vibrant,
multifaceted portrait of him comes to life and sheds new light on
the writer and the man. Loosely following Conroy's own chronology,
the essays in Our Prince of Scribes wind through his river of a
story, stopping at important ports of call. Cities he called home
and longed to visit, along with each book he birthed, become
characters that are as equally important as the people he touched
and loved along the way.

A double bill of films detailing the life of musical comedienne
Fanny Brice. In 'Funny Girl', Fanny (Barbra Streisand) is an
