"Funny, I don't feel like a legend."--
Barbra Streisand
She is a one-name legend, a global icon,
the ultimate diva. Yet most of what we know about Barbra Joan Streisand is
the stuff of caricature: the Brooklyn girl made good, the ugly duckling
who blossomed into a modern-day Nefertiti, the political dilettante
driving to the barricades in her Rolls-Royce, the Oscar-winning actress
and bona fide movie mogul, the greatest female singer who ever lived, a
skinflint, a philanthropist, a connoisseur and a barbarian, the woman
whose physical characteristics are instantly identifiable around the
planet -- the tapered nails, those slightly crossed eyes, that nose, the
voice.
Among the revelations:
·Surprising new details about her wedding and
marriage to James Brolin.
·New information about her many failed love
affairs, including her never-before-revealed relationships with Prince
Charles and Princess Diana's doomed lover Dodi Fayed -- as well as Warren
Beatty, Ryan O'Neal, former Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau, Steve
McQueen, Richard Gere, Kris Kristofferson, Don Johnson, Jon Voight, Andre
Agassi, newsman Peter Jennings, and more . . .
·A provocative inside account of what really went
on between Streisand and Bill Clinton in the White House, what their
relationship is like today, and how Hillary feels about Barbra.
·From Funny Girl and The Way We Were to Yentl and
The Prince of Tides -- and in the recording sessions that produced some of
the biggest hits in music history -- new behind-the-scenes details of the
brilliance, the obsessive drive for perfection, and the Callas-sized
ego.
·New insights into Barbra's relationship with her
only child, Jason.
Whether you love her, hate her, or are simply
spellbound by her titanic talent, Barbra is one thing above all others: a
true American original.
