Barbra

A travers des photographies, des images et des anecdotes, les auteurs dévoilent le parcours cinématographique de la chanteuse-actrice Barbra Streisand.

Pitch perfect . From Funny Girl to a star is born.
The meteoric rise of Barbra Streisand . In 1970 Barbra Streisand published a story in Life magazine titled « Who Am I Anyway ? » It was the very question two leading photo- journalists of the day - Steve Schapiro and Lawrence Schiller - were also asking as they photographed her during her first nine years in Hollywood, working to get beneath the veneer and capture « the real Barbra. ». Brimming with photographs, stories, and behind-the-scenes shots from Schapiro and Schiller, and previously available only as a limited edition, this is a must-have collection for any Streisand fan. All the best movies of Streisand's first Hollywood decade are here : Funny Girl, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, The Way We Were, The Owl and the Pussycat, Up the Sandbox, Funny Lady, and A Star Is Born. So too are her loves, directors, confidants, and co-stars : Elliott Gould, William Wyler, Sydney Pollack, Vincente Minnelli. Cis Corman, Omar Sharif, Kris Kristofferson, and, of course, Robert Redford.. Through it all a picture emerges not of a singer who could act, but of an actress who could sing, write, direct, dance, and do just about anything she put her mind to..
