Barbra Streisand
Update: 2023-11-084
Description
Throughout her career, Barbra Streisand's mother would send her bad reviews of her performances. The intention was to prevent her daughter from getting a "swelled head," but they also served as fuel for a woman who was determined to be a star — despite all the forces in her life telling her no. "I don't know if it was like, 'I'll prove you wrong,' because [my mother] kept telling me to get a job as a secretary," Streisand says. "I just somehow always saw my future." The EGOT icon spoke with Terry Gross about her career and her memoir, My Name is Barbra.

I so enjoyed this conversation. It was so wonderful to hear Barbra's reflections and explanations. When I was a teenager, she was my idol. She still is. Such a fabulous talent.
