More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
52 years old in 1995, Barbara Streisand received the highest price ever paid to a performer for one night - one million dollars on New Year's Eve 1993 in Las Vegas. James Spada's portrait of this accomplished woman is also a depiction of modern American showbiz - Greenwich Village clubs in the 1960s, Broadway's brash musicals, and Hollywood in the last 30 years, when the studio system broke down when confronted by ambitious independent companies like Streisand's. Once married to actor Elliott Gould, she has had affairs with Omar Sharif, Ryan O'Neal, Warren Beatty, Steven Spielberg, Canada's former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, Richard Gere and tennis champion Andre Agassi.

A worthy follow-up to "The First Decade"
13 April 2005
Format:Hardcover
Revisiting Barbra Streisand's 'first decade' in show business, and taking her career through to her 1981 comedy "All Night Long", James Spada has done another terrific job examining the multi-faceted, sexy, tempermental and talented diva. Each of Streisand's films is given its own chapter, complete with lots of photographs(some never before seen). Spada soft-peddles some of Streisand's more chaotic battles with co-stars or directors, but many are present in interviews to give their thoughts. As with Spada's "Barbra: The First Decade", Streisand's music career isn't quite as fully explored as her movie work, and some of Spada's details are askew(David Bowie didn't write "Space Captain", for instance). Still, this is a very fine collection of photos and stories and must be included in any Streisand collection.
