2.0 out of 5 stars
Ridiculous expose on the diva..., April 12, 2005
This review is from: Barbra Streisand: The Woman, the Myth, the Music (Hardcover)
Nutty, baffling, sometimes hilariously over-the-top collection of stories on Barbra Streisand's infamous impatience, impertenance, uber perfection and all-around bad temper. Author Shaun Considine, having been present on the sets of Barbra's movies "Up The Sandbox" and "A Star Is Born"--which seems to be the closest he ever got to her--writes about the star as if he knows her first-hand. Many of his gossipy tidbits are suspect, others merely juvenile and/or taken out of context. When the star complains, "No one really cares", she's saying this on the set of a movie, on-location in sweltering Arizona, trying to get an indifferent director to see her vision and contend with a stadium full of screaming fans. Considine never considers the dynamic results of Streisand's hard work, only on how she cracked under the pressure to get it right.
