Barbra Streisand revealed in her upcoming memoir, 'My Name Is Barbra,' she was once propositioned by Marlon Brando before the two became friends. The book is out Nov. 7.
Barbra Streisand is sharing secrets from her past in her highly-anticipated memoir, 'My Name Is Barbra.' Streisand opened up about her famous film 'The Way We Were' and other topics in the book, including her friendship with Marlon Brando and her relationship with James Brolin. At a party in 1966, Streisand said Brando propositioned her for a sexual relationship.
Streisand also revealed how she got Robert Redford on board for 'The Way We Were,' after he originally turned down the role. Sydney Pollack was set to direct, and Streisand felt Redford was the 'particular actor' perfect for the role of Hubbell Gardiner in the 1973 film. 'Many people first noticed Bob in ‘Barefoot in the Park,’ but that didn’t make much of an impression on me,' Streisand admitted in an excerpt published by Vanity Fair.
However, Redford originally turned down the role. The actor worried 'the script was so focused on Katie that Hubbell’s character was underdeveloped. ,' Streisand wrote. 'Bob asked Sydney, ‘Who is this guy? He’s just an object…. He doesn’t want anything. What does this guy want?’ In Bob’s opinion, was ‘shallow and one-dimensional. Not very real.’ ‘A pin-up girl in reverse,’ as Sydney put it.' 'I wanted Bob to be happy, so I told Sydney, ‘Give him anything he wants.
Streisand's memoir was announced in February and will be available on Nov. 7. Viking, a Penguin Random House imprint, is publishing the 992-page story. 'The book is, like Barbra herself, frank, funny, opinionated, and charming,' according to the publisher.
