Barbra Streisand. Steve Schapiro & Lawrence Schiller

In the Taschen coffee table book "Barbra Streisand," photographers Steve Schapiro and Lawrence Schiller capture the diva as her star rose in Hollywood. We look inside the rare moments in the life and the world-famous singer and actress.

In 1970, Barbra Streisand published a story in Life magazine titled "Who Am I Anyway?" It was exactly the question that two leading photojournalists of the time - Steve Schapiro and Lawrence Schiller - also asked themselves when they photographed her during her first five years in Hollywood, trying to penetrate beneath the varnish and capture "the real Barbra."

Filled with photos, stories and behind-the-scenes shots of Schapiro and Schiller, and previously available as a limited edition, this is a must-have collection for any Streisand fan. All the best films from Streisand's first decade in Hollywood are here: Funny Girl, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, The Way We Were, The Owl and the Pussycat, Up the Sandbox, Funny Lady and A Star Is Born. So are her loves, directors, confidants and co-stars: Elliott Gould, William Wyler, Sydney Pollack, Vincente Minnelli, Cis Corman, Omar Sharif, Kris Kristofferson and, of course, Robert Redford.

Through it all comes the image not of a singer who could act, but of an actress who could sing, write, direct, dance and do just about anything she set her mind to.
