Descriere magazin:
An enthralling appreciation of the monumentally gifted popular artist and cultural icon who challenged Hollywood\'s standards of beauty and glamour Barbra Streisand has been called the ``most successful...talented performer of her generation`` by Vanity Fair , and her voice, said pianist Glenn Gould, is ``one of the natural wonders of the age.`` Streisand scaled the heights of entertainment--from a popular vocalist to a first-rank Broadway star in Funny Girl to an Oscar-winning actress to a producer and director. But she has also become a cultural icon who has transcended show business. To achieve her success, Brooklyn-born Streisand had to overcome tremendous odds, not the least of which was her Jewishness. Dismissed, insulted, even reviled when she embarked on a show business career for acting too Jewish and looking too Jewish, she brilliantly converted her Jewishness into a metaphor for outsiderness that would eventually make her the avenger for anyone who felt marginalized and powerless. Neal Gabler examines Streisand\'s life and career through this prism of otherness--a Jew in a gentile world, a self-proclaimed homely girl in a world of glamour, a kooky girl in a world of convention--and shows how central it was to Streisand\'s triumph as one of the voices of her age.
