Barbra Streisand reveals heartbreaking career regret as she hints at retirement after 900-page memoir
The EGOT, Funny Girl legend, and now best-selling author of My Name is Barbra is ready to put her acting career behind her.
There’s no question Barbra Streisand has lived a long, storied, and successful life – though if there ever was, just read the nearly 1,000 page memoir she released last month, My Name is Barbra.
The book, or rather, tome, spans her 81 years of life, from growing up in Brooklyn, breaking out into the spotlight thanks to Funny Girl, her crush on Marlon Brando, feuds with famous co-stars, and her marriage to James Brolin.
Now, with her story finally out for the world to take in, the The Way We Were actress is seemingly pleased to have that be what speaks for her and her story, and step away.
“I’m sort of sick of myself, to tell you the truth,” Barbra joked in a conversation with People about the aftermath of releasing her book, adding she’s “overwhelmed” with “the demands of having to speak about what I’ve done for over 10 years.”
However, tired as she may be now of back to back commitments for her book – she admits she expected to be able to fully relax afterwards – she also candidly confessed to a certain level of regret over the movies she didn’t get to do.
