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. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 Streisand, Barbra. 600 17 Streisand, Barbra.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00063523 600 17 Streisand, Barbra|d1942-|2gnd 650 0 Singers|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Motion picture actors and actresses|zUnited States |vBiography. 650 7 PERFORMING ARTS|xReference.|2bisacsh 650 7 Motion picture actors and actresses.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01027096 650 7 Singers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01119301 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGabler, Neal.|tBarbra Streisand.
