Barbra Streisand - S17.E10

The legendary singer, actress, filmmaker, and philanthropist made her long-awaited Stern Show debut, connecting with Howard from her home in Malibu to deliver an epic interview in service of her equally epic new memoir, “My Name Is Barbra.” Over 10 years in the making, the 992-page book offers an in-depth look at the Brooklyn-born superstar’s sometimes tragic upbringing — from the father who died when she was just 15 months old to the mother who once told her to pursue a career in typing — and covers nearly every facet of her six-decades-long career as a multi-platinum recording artist, acclaimed movie star, and underappreciated director. As open as Barbra was in her book, she was even more candid in her conversation with Howard, touching upon subjects ranging from what song Bob Dylan wrote about her and which Martin Scorsese role she turned down to some of the run-ins she’s had with misguided men in media and the movie business.
