My Name Is Barbra O

Mijn naam is Barbra is the eagerly awaited memoir of Barbra Streisand, one of the most versatile and successful entertainers of all time. In this book, she shares the story of her life and career, from her childhood in Brooklyn and her breakthrough in Funny Girl to her many achievements in music, film, theater, and television.

Barbra Streisand is a living legend by any measure, excelling in every area of entertainment over a six-decade career.
