My Name Is Barbra

I've been listening to Barbara Streisand's biography, her memoir. It's almost a thousand pages it goes on, but I have to say, I appreciate the fact she talks about in the book. She never got a nose job because she was worried that it was going to change her voice. But also she says she kind of likes her nose.

Barbra Streisand has a new memoir called My Name is Barbara.

Congratulations on the book.

Barbra Streisand's new memoir is called My Name is Barbra.

Your memoir starts with how early articles about you focused on your nose. Why did you want to start with your nose? It's a 900-page book.

She writes about everything, from growing up with a mother who constantly criticized her, to her love life and her extensive career.

I want to do some a deeper dive into Streisand's work I got to say a lot of her at her peak fame was before I was born, but I know she's a total legend

So I was surprised by that, but she's obviously a legend. I want to I want to Like consume more of her work before I read the book But I this is a celebrity memoir I would definitely read even as intimidatingly long as it is just because she's been so First of all, she's been very private about her life for many years and she's just been intertwined with so many Just so many of the biggest stories of the past of the late 20th century.

She is just absolutely a force I was reading an NPR kind of review of the book and it said that by the time that American women Were just fighting for the right to open a credit card without a husband Streisand had already founded two production companies So it just goes to show how big of a presence she was in kind of this This this era

Also one of my favorite stories is that she heard that Siri the Voice assistant for Apple was pronouncing her name wrong So she called Tim Cook and got him to change personally changed pronunciation of it and she kind of smiles while she's telling the story and saying like I like solving problems So it just goes to show you what kind of person she is and I do think this book will will do well because she's she's lived a Heck of a life

I think one reason why uh celebrities are writing memoirs a lot right now and it's not I'm not saying this is What Streisand is doing is because it generally leads to an uptick in all of your other projects
