Fall release for Streisand memoir

Barbra Streisand’s long-awaited memoir, a project she has talked about for years, is coming out this fall. Viking will release “My Name is Barbra” on Nov. 7.

Her memoir, fitting for a superstar of the grandest ambitions, is listed at 1,040 pages.

“The book is, like Barbra herself, frank, funny, opinionated and charming,” according to the publisher. “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 fulfilment she’s found in her marriage to James Brolin.”

The memoir was first announced in 2015.
