Barbra Streisand's memoir looks back on a groundbreaking career
Podcast: NPR's Book of the DayPublished On: Mon Nov 13 2023
Description: Barbra Streisand spent 15 years working to get her directorial debut, the movie Yentl, made. She writes in her new memoir, My Name is Barbra, that people in Hollywood often told her the story was "too Jewish" to appeal to a mainstream audience. In today's episode, Streisand speaks with NPR's Brittany Luse, host of the podcast It's Been a Minute, about that experience. She also talks about why she feels like her book gives her control over her legacy – and how she approached it as kind of a "director's cut" of her life.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
