Hello, Gorgeous : becoming Barbra Streisand
Mann, William J.2012
Book
In 1960, she was a 17-year-old Brooklyn kid with plenty of talent but no connections and certainly no money - her mother brought her soup to make sure she didn't go hungry as she took acting classes and scraped a living. Just four years later, Barbra Streisand was the top-selling female recording artist in America and the star of one of Broadway's biggest hits. Now, draing on the private papers of Jerome Robbins and Bob Fosse, and interviewing scores of friends and lovers who knew Barbara before she became Barbra, William J. Mann chronicles her astonishing ascent.
