Barbra Streisand is set to release her long-awaited memoir this autumn, her publisher has announced. My Name Is Barbra, which will be published by Penguin Random House UK imprint Century on November 7, will explore the six-decade career of the 80-year-old star.
Many books have been written about the renowned actress and singer’s life but this will be the first time Streisand will chronicle her story in her own words. From Broadway to the big screen, the much-loved star is one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time, and one of the few performers to have achieved EGOT status (winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony).
In the memoir, Streisand will recount her life from growing up in New York to the early days of her career and the years after. Her breakout performance came with the musical and film versions of Funny Girl and she went on to have an illustrious career in the entertainment world.
