Streisand: In the Camera Eye by James Spada

Streisand: In the Camera Eye by James Spada

Streisand: In the Camera Eye is a collection of 170 of the most compelling photographs of Barbra Streisand, chosen for their rarity, beauty, and insight into Streisand’s multifaceted life and career. The pictures, most of which have never been published before, document her many phases, from her early days on Broadway, including Funny Girl, to her hugely popular TV specials, to her work as an actress in films such as Hello, Dolly!, The Way We Were, and A Star Is Born. Taken by some of the greatest names in photography—including Philippe Halsman, Francesco Scavullo, Douglas Kirkland, Bob Willoughby, and Cecil Beaton—the images also represent her fabled concerts, as well as personal moments away from the set and stage. Seven essays by Spada introduce the various periods of Streisand’s adult life, and, along with substantial anecdotal and quote-filled captions, they combine with the spectacular photos to tell the whole story of one of the world’s most popular and beloved stars. [Please note that the title design intentionally wraps around the spine to the back cover.]

James Spada has written three books about Streisand: Barbra: The First Decade (Citadel 1990); Streisand: The Woman and the Legend (Doubleday 1981), and Streisand: Her Life (Crown 1995) and has also produced pictorial books about Marilyn Monroe, Katharine Hepburn, Bette Midler, Jane Fonda, Jackie Onassis, John and Caroline Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and others. Between 1980 and 1983, Spada also acted as Editor and Publisher of "Barbra Quarterly," a slick fan magazine.
