BARBRA(Streisand) An Actree Who Sings, Volume 1

In this unauthorized biography about Barbra Streisand, the late James Kimbrell cannot hide his enthusiasm and love for Ms. Streisand: “Barbra! The legendary Streisand. Greatness seemingly without trying. Difficult, demanding, driven, self-directed…only the natural traits of a historically-gifted genius. And is it not her life? Her work? Her legacy? The world should applaud her rather maddening sanity, and the fabled control.”
Told through an unusual reverse chronology, Barbara details the years of the 1970’s and 1980’s in the life and career of the woman generally acknowledged to be the world’s greatest female entertainer. Winner of every major performance award—two Oscars, seven Grammys, the Emmy, the Tony, countless Golden Globes—Barbra Joan Streisand is also the first person in Hollywood history to produce, direct, write, star and sing in a motion picture.
