It will be the first authorized autobiography from the
73-year-old star, in which she will also delve into memories of
her childhood.
"Barbra Streisand's memoir is the entertainment story that has
been on the top of every publisher's wish list for years," said
Brian Tart, president and publisher of Viking, an imprint of
Penguin Random House, in a statement.
The Brooklyn, New York native has sold more than 72 million
copies of her music in the United States, and last year made
history by becoming the only performer to have a No. 1 album in
each of the past six decades.
She has also won 10 Grammy awards, five Emmy awards and two
Oscars, as well as accolades from the Golden Globes, Directors
Guild of America and Peabody for her work across film and music.
Her notable film works include 1968's "Funny Girl" and 2004's
"Meet The Fockers."
She is married to actor James Brolin.
