Download Barbra: The Way She Is AudioBook Free
She is a one-name legend, a global icon, the best diva. Yet almost all of what we realize 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 surrounding the planet-the tapered nails, those slightly crossed eyes, that nose, the voice. Even to the multitudes surrounding the world who idolize her, Streisand remains aloof, unknowable, tantalizingly beyond reach. As yet. In the way of his number-one NY Times bestsellers The Day Diana Died and The Day John Died, Christopher Andersen taps into important sources-eyewitnesses to Streisand's amazing life and career-to paint a startling portrait of the artist...and the woman.Whether you like her, hate her, or are simply spellbound by her titanic talent, Barbra is one thing above all others: a genuine American original.
