That long-promised, official Barbra Streisand memoir is finally getting published

Babs fans, can you hear me? Two-time Oscar winner Barbra Streisand announced Wednesday that her official autobiography is finally getting a release date.

The "A Star Is Born" singer and "Funny Girl" star will publish "My Name Is Barbra" on Nov. 7, she said Wednesday in an announcement on social media revealing the book's cover — featuring her iconic 1967 portrait by late photojournalist Steve Schapiro. The memoir's title calls back to the showbiz legend's first TV special, an Emmy Award-winning program that featured a medley of her hit songs "People," "Happy Days Are Here Again" and "My Man."

Penguin Random House's Viking imprint will publish the 80-year-old superstar's long-gestating project. The 1,040-page book is being billed as a "frank, funny, opinionated and charming" account of her life befitting the legendary EGOT winner's luminous and lengthy career.
