Academy Award-nominated actress Amy Irving has announced her sophomore album, Always Will Be, featuring 10 electrifying renditions of songs from her longtime friend Willie Nelson's iconic catalog. The album includes contributions from Amy Helm, Louis Cato, Steve Earle, Chris Pierce, Lizzie No, and Willie himself, and is due out on April 25 via Queen of the Castle Records/Missing Piece Records. Amy Irving and Willie Nelson's decades long friendship began when the pair first met on the set of the 1980 film Honeysuckle Rose. After dueting on a reimagining of his song "I'm Waiting Forever" for her 2023 debut album, Nelson reached out to Irving with a proposition: Why not record another album, one comprised entirely of his own work? Irving took him up on the offer, and the result is an incredibly heartfelt album, one that is rooted in love and friendship. Over Irving's prolific career, she has been seen in Brian DePalma's Carrie and The Fury, stage performances of Romeo & Juliet with the Los Angeles Shakespeare Society and Broadway's Amadeus. Irving was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in Yentl, and has captivated audiences with beloved starring roles in films including Crossing Delancey, The Competition and Micki and Maude.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Amy Irving's film career soared in the 1980s. She was featured in the film Yentl, a role that earned her an Academy Award nomination. In the movie Crossing Delancey, Irving plays a single woman who falls in love with a pickle merchant. In real life, Irving married Steven Spielberg, a relationship that ended in divorce. She co-starred with Willie Nelson in the film Honeysuckle Rose and that was the beginning of a life-long friendship with Nelson. Irving's career has shifted away from acting and towards music. She's got a new album which features Willie Nelson covers. It's called Always Will Be. I spoke to Amy Irving at her home in Westchester about singing as a second act and what it's like to be an older woman in Hollywood. “Now What?” is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jackie Schwartz. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.

Episode Summary In this raw and rumbling return, Madge gives you a microphone check from beyond the grave, welcomes Bissy the AI co-host who talks too much, and somehow makes a sincere tribute to dead podcasters while detailing one of the most dramatic dumps in Yeast Radio history. There's talk of chia, plungers, haunted turds, Simply Sara, haunted turds, necrophilia, blocked queens, and haunted turds. Did we mention haunted turds? Oh, and don't worry — Bissy raps. Highlights from “The Circle Game of Doody” Political Snark: Madge references Trump being president again and expresses frustration with the public's complicity. This is touched on both seriously and with biting sarcasm. TikTok Obsession: Ongoing discussion of how TikTok has replaced podcasting as Madge's main creative outlet — mentions of high-performing videos and content about bowel movements. AI Co-Host Drama: Bissy, the AI sidekick, struggles to keep up with Madge's vulgarity and gets scolded repeatedly for being too prudish or literal. Gastrointestinal Focus: Besides the epic bowel movement story, Madge explores earlier turd memories, fart analysis, plunger technique, and chia's bowel-altering power. Death and Memorials: This episode is framed by death — with the passing of Simply Sara, Archer, and Ramble Redhead being lovingly (and clumsily) honored. Forbidden Pizza: The eternal struggle of food, shame, and timing. Madge considers sneaking pizza while her spouse is away at a Lady Bunny concert. Theatrical Interludes: Madge breaks into dramatic musical moments, featuring lyrics from Evita, Cabaret, Yentl, and The Sound of Silence. Listener Callbacks & Archives: She attempts (and mostly fails) to dig up archival clips of old podcast friends, showcasing the ephemerality of early internet media. Fiber & Diet Culture Satire: Chia pudding, Fiber One trauma, and Madge's spouse's insistence on “breaking turds with your pussy” — all part of a deep dive into food, shame, and queer domestic life.

Click here to send us a message!This week we're joined by writer Alonso Duralde, author of Hollywood Pride to discuss Barbra Streisand's directorial debut, Yentl. The story of a young woman who bucked convention, and gender norms, to follow her dreams. Progressive for 1983, the film was ahead of it's time, and is undergoing a queer reappraisal.

Papa, can you hear us? We eat some unburnt fish and baked apple before discussing the movie Yentl. This musical, with songs sung only by the title character, is an anthem for feminism and women's rights. The stars shine brightly in this film, especially with Mandy Patinkin's full moon out for everyone to see.

Ervaring voor Beginners is een podcast-serie waarin Theo Maassen (Oegstgeest, 1966) exact 60 minuten praat met makers over de kunst van het maken.

Who gets to tell the story? It's the season finale, and it feels like a perfect time to travel back to 2015, when a blockbuster hip-hop musical about America's founders took the world by storm. That's right... Today, Peter and Nathan return to the room where it happened and consider the theology of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton. _________________________________________ You'll hear: My Shot / Wait For It / The Ten Dual Commandments: Hamilton & Burr—like Valjean & Javert, like Jesus & Judas—represent oppositional forces, responding to similar circumstances with radically different approaches to life. They also each get a great “I Want” song. Burn / Quiet Uptown / Say No To This: Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, Maria Reynolds, Angelica Schuyler Church and the various roles that women play in this story. What does forgiveness look like – and what does Eliza see at the end of the musical? One Last Time / Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story: Few other musicals are so associated with presidential administrations as Hamilton is with Barack Obama. We think about the connections between the Hamilton project and the Obama project, wonder about the soft nationalism at the heart of this story, and think critically about the legacy of George Washington. Who gets to tell the story? You'll hear Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr, Phillipa Soo, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Christopher Jackson and the cast of the 2015 Original Broadway Cast Album. It won a Grammy. _________________________________________ Check out some of our all-time favorites! Phantom of the Opera Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Jesus Christ Superstar!

Il était une fois un musicien de 86 ans resté toute sa vie un enfant, un enfant du classique et du jazz, qui a fait tourner les moulins de nos cœurs. David Hertzog Dessites célèbre, dans son documentaire «Il était une fois Michel Legrand», le génie du compositeur qui n'a eu de cesse de se réinventer jusqu'à sa mort. Né en 1932, Michel Legrand se distingue par des prédispositions précoces : il se met au piano à 4 ans, intègre le Conservatoire de Paris à 11, et connaît un grand succès dès ses 24 ans avec le disque I Love Paris vendu à plus de 8 millions d'exemplaires.L'amoureux du jazz formé à la musique classique devient un arrangeur que les maisons de disques et les chanteurs et chanteuses s'arrachent. Puis Michel Legrand se retrouve aspiré par la Nouvelle Vague qui déferle sur le cinéma : Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Paul Rappeneau et surtout Jacques Demy font appel à lui.Michel Legrand signe les bandes originales des films de Demy : Les parapluies de Cherbourg, Les Demoiselles de Rochefort et Peau d'Âne. Le succès de ces comédies musicales à la française lui ouvre les portes de Hollywood. Il y gagnera trois Oscars, dont un pour la chanson «Les moulins de mon cœur» composée pour L'Affaire Thomas Crown.Le documentaire «Il était une fois Michel Legrand» revient sur ce parcours exceptionnel, mêlant images d'archive et interviews exceptionnelles ainsi que la captation du dernier concert de Michel Legrand, celui de la Philharmonie de Paris en décembre 2018. Ce film a été présenté en sélection au festival de Cannes dans la section Cannes classic.Avec vous, nous reviendrons sur la vie et l'œuvre de ce génie de la musique, rendu célébrissime par ses bandes originales de films comme Les demoiselles de Rochefort, Les parapluies de Cherbourg, L'affaire Thomas Crown ou Yentl.À l'affiche également de notre cinéma, une rencontre avec la réalisatrice syrienne Hala Alabdalla célébrée par les Rencontres du cinéma documentaire de Montreuil.Musiques : Michel Legrand (Les moulins de mon cœur, Legrand Jazz, Yentl), Matthieu Boogaerts Ma jeunesse.

We've got the Lutherans to thank for this one. It's the worst-ever name for a musical, but Peter & Nathan think that 2001's Urinetown, with music and lyrics by Mark Hollmann & Greg Kotis, is worthy of your attention – and some sustained theological reflection. _________________________________________ We talk about: The show's origin story (thanks, Lutherans!) and its unfortunately timed Broadway debut on the heels of 9/11. The politics of Urinetown – capitalist overlords versus the people's revolution, all painted in broad, satirical brushstrokes. Are there any responsible political figures in this show? What is Urinetown? A prison for malefactors? A way for the powerful to prey on the vulnerable? Death? Despair? "Following your heart" – What does that mean? And what if whatever your heart seems to be telling you turns out to be wrong? The power of music (particularly Gospel music) to move us to action. Who "should" be singing this music, and who is it for?   You'll hear: "Too Much Exposition" / "What is Urinetown?" – satirical take-downs of conventional musical theatre tropes "I See A River" / "Run Freedom, Run" / "Follow Your Heart" – Urinetown asks some complicated questions about love and justice. And the music is pretty dang good. You'll hear Hunter Foster, John Cullum, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Jeff McCarthy, Spencer Kayden and the Original Broadway Cast from the 2001 recording. _________________________________________ Check out some of our all-time favorites!

Somewhere beyond the barricade, is there a world you long to see? There's no more overtly theological (or more popular) musical than Claude-Michel Schönberg & Alain Boubil's 1980 Les Misérables, based on Victor Hugo's 1862 novel. From Valjean and Javert to Eponine and Fantine, this musical crams more pathos, prayer, and bad wigs into three hours than any other musical we know. Do you hear the people sing? _________________________________________ We talk about: Prologue (the Bishop) / Stars / Javert's Suicide – Javert, the police inspector, embodies a law-and-order version of the Christian gospel (shout-out to our Jansenist followers!) – and ultimately, the mercy he is shown destroys him. Are these competing atonement theories, or is there more subtlety in Les Mis' treatment of the Christian gospel and its consequences? I Dreamed a Dream / On My Own / A Little Fall of Rain – Fantine gets one, brief, shining moment before she dies (it's a weeper), and Eponine stands in for every alto who dreams of being the soprano – and then she dies, too. Why do most of the women in Les Mis end up dead? Turning, Turning – "What's the use of praying if there's nobody who hears it?" In a musical where women are mostly prostitutes or virgins, the women's chorus gives voice to one of the show's darkest and most provocative theological questions. Bring Him Home / Do You Hear the People Sing? – What does an evangelized life look like on the ground – and what does “somewhere beyond the barricade” really mean? _________________________________________ You'll hear Colm Wilkinson, Phillip Quast, Lea Salonga, Michael Ball and Judy Kuhn from the 1995 “Dream Cast Recording.” You'll also hear Anne Hathaway sing “I Dreamed a Dream” from the 2012 film soundtrack because she won an Oscar for it, and attention must be paid. _________________________________________ Never miss an episode! Sign up for our email list to get updates when new episodes are released, info about upcoming special events, and more. _________________________________________ Check out some of our all-time favorites!

Immigration, capitalism, feminism, intersectionality, and the civil rights: this musical has it all! Flaherty & Ahren's 1998 musical Ragtime is a big, expensive show with lots of plot (never Peter's strong suit) – but we love this musical and what it has to say about kingdoms of power and the kingdom of God. _________________________________________ Peter & Nathan make some highly controversial claims: – "Ragtime" is the greatest opening number in Broadway history. – "Daddy's Son" – Nobody sings this like Broadway's GOAT, Audra Ann McDonald. Nathan will fight you on this. – "Henry Ford" & "Wheels of a Dream" – Is Ragtime just an extended commercial for Ford? And we wonder together about hearing "New Music," listening for resurrection, and what it means to live faithfully "‘Til We Reach That Day." _________________________________________ You'll hear Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra McDonald, Marin Mazzie, Peter Freidman, Judy Kaye and the cast of the 1998 Original Broadway Cast. _________________________________________ Never miss an episode! Sign up for our email list to get updates when new episodes are released, info about upcoming special events, and more. _________________________________________ Check out some of our all-time favorites!

From measuring a woman's health based on her attractiveness, to studies showing women have to prove themselves to be sicker than a man to receive treatment. In this bonus episode of 'Hysterical', Cattriona Stirrat speaks with Dr Lea Merone, a researcher in women's health. She breaks down concepts such as Yentl syndrome and the 'beauty myth', but also shares her own story of confronting the very issues she studies.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today is Barbra Streisand day! And what a day it is. Just one day after Babs herself announced the start to production of her approved documentary film, in which she plans to unveil the creative contents of her quite famous vault, we here at The B-Side tackle some of the legend's lesser-seen films. They include The Owl and the Pussycat, Up the Sandbox, For Pete's Sake, Nuts, and The Guilt Trip. Our guest on this long-in-the-making journey is Chris Feil, co-host of the incredible This Had Oscar Buzz podcast.  We talk about the autobiography in all of its glory. We talk about Barbra's early years, Barbra's late years, her passion for design, her complicated history with movie directors, and her best albums. There's also hefty discussion about A-side Yentl, and why it's funnier and sexier than you remember. It's also a masterpiece.  There's debate about how much The Guilt Trip ultimately worked, how exactly Barbra mastered playing a “regular person” by the time The Prince of Tides comes around, and how Nuts would've been better if Barbra had directed it. Additional highlights include mistaking Philip Bosco for Karl Malden, celebrating Richard Dreyfuss playing bothered to perfection, and Chris' post-TIFF takes. Mike Leigh and Marianne Jean-Baptiste save us! And just to note, if you're in NYC for NYFF62, come on out to one (or all!) of our four Cinephile Game Nights, on 9/28. 9/29, 9/30, and 10/8!

Today, I'm thrilled to announce my episode with star of stage and screen Allan Corduner, who just finished a run as Hume Cronyn in THE MOTIVE AND THE CUE on the West End. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including crawling on the floor with Barbra Streisand, the unique process of working with Mike Leigh on TOPSY TURVY, how a coffee with Bartlett Sher led to MY FAIR LADY, dealing with technical issues during TITANIC, the antisemitism he faced in the British entertainment world, working with Joseph Papp on SERIOUS MONEY, the actor who died during the table read of YENTL, why he was more impressed by John Gielgud than Laurence Olivier, working with Mike Ockrent on his theater debut, and so much more. You won't want to miss this interview with one of our most charming and delightful stars.

Papa can you hear me?!? This episode we discuss the 1983 masterpiece ‘Yentl' starring, directed, co written and co produced by Barbra Streisand. Set in Eastern Europe, 1904, the story tells of a young Jewish woman who disguises herself as a man in order to receive an education.  Tune in and watch us fly!

We're starting a very special month to end summer Streisand on the Beach, where we have an entire month of Barbera Streisand movies, starting with the film she wrote, starred in, and directed, Yentl. NotTheHoneyBees joins us to help guide us through this month of chaos. As the lore keeper of all things Barbera, they put together a stellar list of films we can't wait to watch. Also, how did no one discover that Yentl was not a boy about 20 minutes into the movie?Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-content

Cet été dans Pépites, on vous propose de découvrir Les Vagues, le podcast co-produit par Louie Media et le magazine Elle où Marion Ruggieri interroge des personnalités sur le moment où elles se sont senties à leur place pour la première fois.Dans ce nouvel épisode des Vagues, Marion Ruggieri retrouve Delphine Horvilleur en plein déménagement dans le quartier du Marais, à Paris. Avant de devenir l'une des premières femmes rabbin de France, Delphine a voulu être médecin, puis journaliste. Trois métiers apparemment très éloignés qui ont un fil directeur, dit-elle avec le recul, le désir “d'écouter les autres et d'accueillir leurs récits comme quelque chose de sacré.” Delphine Horvilleur, qui ne sait pas ce que veut dire “être chez soi”, revient sur son enfance en province, ses séjours en Israël et à New-York, des expériences qui l'ont transformée et qui constituent aujourd'hui autant de pièces du puzzle de sa vie. Elle se questionne sur l'impossibilité actuelle de revendiquer des identités complexes, et se livre sur les éléments qui la constituent : le film Yentl de Barbra Streisand, découvert à 9 ans, le yiddish de sa grand-mère qui lui revient comme un écho à la faveur de l'actualité, son tout premier office à Paris alors qu'elle est enceinte de 8 mois... Pour Delphine Horvilleur, il ne s'agit pas de trouver sa place, mais de se savoir en chemin.Cet épisode des Vagues a été diffusé pour la première fois le 28 mai 2024. Bonne écoute !

Yentl sorti en 1983 est un film musical, dramatique, réalisé, écrit, joué, produit par une actrice chanteuse de talent, Barbra Streisand. Lʹadaptation, relativement libre, du moins incarnée, dʹune nouvelle dʹIsaac Singer parue en 1962, intitulée : Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy. Lʹhistoire est celle dʹune jeune fille juive au-début du 20e siècle qui veut étudier la Torah. Mais elle est femme et ce nʹest pas la place des femmes. Yentl, à la mort de son père, se coupe les cheveux, revêt des habits dʹhomme et part étudier les textes sacrés. Véritable quête initiatique, film ouvertement féministe, le film est de plus porté par la musique de Michel Legrand qui a lʹhabitude de travailler avec Barbra Streisand. Les états intérieurs de Yentl sont ainsi chantés et apportent la distance quʹil faut à cette épopée dʹune jeune femme occupée à décrocher, non pas la lune, encore quʹelle le pourrait, mais simplement ce qui lui est interdit : le savoir. Nouvelle Eve, Yentl trace son chemin vers la liberté et devient source dʹinspiration pour de nombreuses jeunes filles. Du moins, cʹest ce que se plait à rêver la toute jeune réalisatrice dont cʹest le premier projet. Le film est plutôt bien reçu par le public. La BO du film connaît également un grand succès. Les critiques par contre nʹaiment pas trop quʹune chanteuse très (trop) populaire, ait lʹaudace de se poser ainsi en réalisatrice. Mais Barbra Streisand nʹen a cure. Elle gagne le Golden Globe du meilleur film musical en 1984 et celui du meilleur réalisateur, et Michel Legrand gagne un Oscar pour la meilleure musique. Dès lors, suivons la transformation de Yentl en Anshel, et le cheminement dʹune femme libre.

Papa, can you hear me? It's the last episode of our Season of Babs, and we're going out strong! That's right: today we look at Barbra Streisand's magnum opus, the 1982 film Yentl – which she both directed and starred in.   We talk about: Prayer & Texts:  What it means to study sacred texts, and the critical differences between traditionally-Christian and traditionally-Jewish ways of understanding scripture. Sexuality & Gender:  Is Yentl transphobic, or is it ahead of its time? Leadership & Power:  Finally, a woman at the helm of a major Hollywood film! What does Barbra's experience directing and starring in Yentl tell us about leadership and power? Boats:  Barbra loves a ferry. What is it about boats, water, and crossing over that so compels her? How does it tie into the immigrant story and the American Dream?   You'll hear: – Barbra singing “Where Is It Written,” “No Wonder,” “Several Sins A Day” (cut from the final film) and “A Piece of Sky”.   Continue the conversation with us on Instagram and The Platform Formerly Known as Twitter (@gospelofmt).

On episode 225 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello to discuss Dev Patel's directorial debut, Monkey Man, and talk about some of their favorite directorial debuts from actor turn directors. Some of the best debuts feature films within a yearly film slate come from actors taking their turn behind the director's chair. This is year is no different as Oscar nominee Dev Patel has released, alongside the help of Universal Studios and producer Jordan Peele, Monkey Man, an action revenge thriller that is a reimagining of childhood stories and myths Patel heard when he was growing up. Premiering earlier this year at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival, the film was received extremely well, with Ryan's review from the fest stating that “Patel has announced himself as a directorial voice to be reckoned with a knockout, confident debut.” Erik and Sophia were able to catch up with it this past week and gave their thoughts on this personal, action pack thrill ride from Patel. After talking about Monkey Man, the conversation shifted to a large discussion on the groups favorite directorial debuts by actor turn directors, which covered a large range of personalities and genres. Already being the public eye, and having some form of cache in the business, along with something to say, there can be a lot of pressure on actors who step into the role of directors and make their first films and beyond. Some go on to use their first film as a launch pad for a big career behind the camera, while others peck within their first project, never able to capture the magic again. In a wide-ranging conversation, some of the films discussed by Ryan, Erik and Sophia were Ordinary People, This is Spinal Tap, Get Out, Reds, Eve's Bayou, Yentl, A Star is Born (2018), The Virgin Suicides, Confessions of Dangerous Mind, Lady Bird, Whip It, The Night of the Hunter, and more. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h2m. On our next episode, we will be latest film from director Alex Garland, Civil War, along with discussing our favorite political thrillers, and breaking down the 2024 Cannes Film Festival line-up. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Ninety-eight-year-old Songwriters Hall of Famer Alan Bergman chats with us about a wide-ranging career that started with Johnny Mercer and continues to today. PART ONEPaul and Scott talk about the Abba Voyage virtual concert and scare themselves with the possibilities of digital technology. PART TWOOur in-depth interview with Alan BergmanABOUT ALAN BERGMANAlan Bergman and his late wife Marilyn joined forces professionally in the 1950s to create one of the most successful songwriting teams of all time. Though both musicians, the pair are best known as lyricists, and they found particular success writing for the silver screen. The Bergmans earned eleven Grammy nominations, including four nominations for Song of Year. They won the Song of the Year honor for “The Way We Were” from the Barbra Streisand film of the same name. They received fifteen Academy Award nominations for Best Original Song, winning twice for “The Windmills of Your Mind” and “The Way We Were,” and earning a record-setting three nominations in a single year in 1982. The following year they won their third Oscar, for Best Original Song Score, for the Yentl soundtrack, which included Best Original Song nominees “Papa, Can You Hear Me” and “The Way He Makes Me Feel.” Other highlights from the Bergman catalog include “Nice ‘n Easy” performed by Frank Sinatra, “The Summer Knows,” recorded by Sarah Vaughn, “You Don't Bring Me Flowers,” which they wrote with Neil Diamond, “Someone in the Dark,” which Michael Jackson recorded for the E.T. soundtrack, and “I Knew I Loved You,” which was recorded by Celine Dion. Additionally, the four-time Emmy award winners were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and were recipients of the National Music Publishers Association Lifetime Achievement Award. The Bergmans held a number of executive positions in various organizations, including serving on the executive committee of the Music Branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and as board members of the National Academy of Songwriters. From 1994-2009 Marilyn served as the president of ASCAP. Their songs have been recorded by Fred Astaire, Johnny Mathis, Sergio Mendes, Ray Charles, Bing Crosby, Stan Getz, Dusty Springfield, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Glen Campbell, Sting, Natalie Cole, Tony Bennett, Norah Jones, and countless others. We're thrilled to share this conversation with the now 98-year-old Alan Bergman, recorded at his home back in August.

Podcast, can you hear me?” We certainly can, Barbra! The very menschy Jordan Hoffman joins us to chat about Streisand's official directorial debut, a marvel of a film that makes anyone describing it sound insane. Yes, Barbra wrote, directed, produced, and starred in a period piece about a shtetl girl who crossdresses in order to study the Talmud. Yes, the film is a musical with songs composed by Michel Legrand. Yes, Barbra is the only person who sings in it, despite the male lead being Broadway legend Mandy Patinkin. Yes, Steven Spielberg called this movie “the greatest directorial debut since CITIZEN KANE.” Yes, we think Barbra should enter the MCU and direct Ant Man 4. Wait, what?

Barbra Streisand spent 15 years working to get her directorial debut, the movie Yentl, made. She writes in her new memoir, My Name is Barbra, that people in Hollywood often told her the story was "too Jewish" to appeal to a mainstream audience. In today's episode, Streisand speaks with NPR's Brittany Luse, host of the podcast It's Been a Minute, about that experience. She also talks about why she feels like her book gives her control over her legacy – and how she approached it as kind of a "director's cut" of her life.

Hillary has been an admirer of Barbra Streisand's throughout her remarkable career, and a friend since they first met back in 1992. There's lots to admire about this iconic singer, actor, writer, producer, and director, known for her best-selling albums, performances on stage and screen, and activism. “Funny Girl”, “The Way We Were”, “Yentl”, and “A Star Is Born” are just a few of the titles that remind us of the profound impact Barbra's made on our cultural landscape.     Now, she's added a new achievement to the list, with the release of her highly anticipated, expansive, and entertaining memoir: My Name is Barbra. She joins Hillary for a wide-ranging conversation about how she made her way from a cramped apartment in Flatbush, Brooklyn to the EGOT winner she is today; her special friendship with Hillary's mother-in-law Virginia; and her unflinching honesty, which played out to comic effect on the first date with her now-husband of twenty-five years, James Brolin.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
