Barbra - The Way She Is (Paperback)

She is a global icon, the ultimate diva, the Brooklyn girl made good, the ugly duckling who blossomed into a modern-day Nefertiti, the Oscar-winning actress and bona fide movie mogul, and arguably the greatest female singer who has ever lived. Equally adored and despised, she is one of the world's most recognized celebrities--those slightly crossed eyes, that nose . . . the voice. Yet even to the multitudes who idolize her, Streisand has remained aloof, unknowable, tantalizingly beyond reach . . . until now.

Drawing from in-depth interviews with eyewitnesses to her remarkable life and career, number-one "New York Times" bestselling author Christopher Andersen paints a fascinating, startling portrait of Barbra Joan Streisand--the artist, the woman, a true American original.
