Synopsis

One Tony, two Oscars, six Emmys, eight Grammys, ten Golden Globes-Barbra Streisand has enjoyed one of the most unparalleled careers in show business. Tom Santopietro chronicles every moment: from her first recordings and theatre appearances to her latest album (September 2005), marking the roles and the songs that brought home awards in every field and earned her the title of best selling pop female vocalist of all time. With a winning style and encyclopedic expertise, he celebrates the numerous career highlights in film, theatre, albums, concerts, and even politics without ignoring some of the bumps in her road to superstardom. Streisand is truly America's greatest living diva, and only a fan and aficionado such as Santopietro could offer such a canny, critical, yet loving look at the many ups and downs of nearly forty years in the spotlight.

Media Reviews
Not at all the average fan tribute, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING BARBRA, mixes milk and honey admiration with bracing shots of vinegar. Tom Santopietro 'gets' his idol, loves her for what she is; understands what she is not. (But still could be!) His book is smart, funny, right-on. An encyclopedic must-read for anybody who has pondered the greatness, perfection and oddities of Miss Streisand. -Liz Smith
