Barbra Streisand Opens Up About Stage Fright and Life Beyond Showbiz

Barbra Streisand reveals in her new memoir, "My Name Is Barbra," that her battle with stage fright began during her time in the Broadway production of "Funny Girl." She recounts how her co-star Sydney Chaplin's off-script behavior drove her into therapy and instilled a deep-seated anxiety about live performances. Streisand's fear of forgetting her lines persisted throughout her career, leading her to avoid public performances for nearly three decades after a 1967 concert incident. The memoir also delves into her childhood and her pursuit of acting as a means of finding belonging and love. Streisand recently celebrated her 25-year marriage to James Brolin, who shared a personal detail about their early relationship. When asked about who could play her in a future film, Streisand expressed uncertainty.
