Barbra: The Way She Is by Christopher Andersen

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, the Oscar-winning actress, the greatest female singer who ever lived, a skinflint, a philanthropist, the woman whose physical characteristics are instantly identifiable around the planet the tapered nails, those slightly crossed eyes, that nose, the voice. Even to the multitudes around the world who idolize her, Streisand remains aloof, unknowable, tantalizingly beyond reach. Until now. Andersen taps into important sources eyewitnesses to Streisand's remarkable life and career to paint a startling portrait of the artist... and the woman. He provides new insights into Barbra's marriage, failed love affairs, career and motherhood, including never-before revealed information regarding relationships with Prince Charles and Bill Clinton.
