My Name Is Barbra is Barbra Streisand's first memoir. Many books have been written about her, but none
by the ceiling-shattering director, producer, singer, actress, and activist. With
Yentl, she became the first woman to write, produce, direct, and star in a major motion picture. Streisand is the recipient of the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award, the Kennedy Center Honor, the National Medal of Arts, France's Légion d'Honneur, and the United States' highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She is one of a handful of people who've won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award (EGOT), and the only recording artist in history to have earned #1 albums over six consecutive decades. As she takes readers from her roots in Brooklyn across the East River to her starmaking performance on Broadway in
Funny Girl through her singing and film career, they'll get a front-row seat on her milestone-breaking journey. One-million-copy first printing.
