Mijn naam is Barbra BY Barbra Streisand
Mijn naam is Barbra is the highly anticipated memoir of Barbra Streisand, one of the most versatile and successful entertainers of all time. This book chronicles her life and career, from her Brooklyn childhood and breakthrough in Funny Girl to her numerous achievements in music, film, theater, and television.
Barbra Streisand is a living legend by any standard, excelling in every area of entertainment over a six-decade career. She is one of the few EGOT winners (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) and possesses one of the most recognizable voices in popular music history.

In Mijn naam is Barbra, she shares her experiences and insights with humor and honesty. She discusses her struggles to become an actress, the recording of some of her acclaimed albums, the years-long effort to make Yentl, directing The Prince of Tides, her friendships with figures like Marlon Brando and Madeleine Albright, her political activism, and the fulfillment she has found in her marriage to James Brolin.
