Hello, Gorgeous: Becoming Barbra Streisand by William J. Mann
4.0
If you are wanting a biography of Barbra from start to now... this is not that book. However if you want to know what the early years were like for Barbra and those around her this is that book.
Barbra decided that she wanted to be an actress, but to make money she needed to sing. She didn't want to be a singer, but she did want to eat. Others saw in her something special, something unique that was not only marketable but stunning.
When Barbra sang, she sang from her heart and soul. She gave it her all, and although the few acting jobs that she had were hard in the fact that she did the say thing everyday on stage. That was not the part of acting that appealed to her, but she understood that it took hard work, determination and confidence. Something that she excelled in.
Barbra rose to stardom quicker that any around her and stayed at the top. Her goal was to receive every award she could in the business. Not only did she do that but she has kept on going.
