Stars' big reveals THANKS FOR THE MEMOIRS

Barbra Streisand My Name is Barbra

At 970 pages, Barbra's 2023 memoir is not short on details.

The singer-actor, 83, recalls deciding as a young woman, "I have to become famous so I can get somebody else to make my bed." On her directorial debut for the movie Yentl, she shares a bizarre story about fellow actor Mandy Patinkin, now 72, who became "angry and rude". She took him aside and he confessed he thought she'd hired him because she wanted to have an affair. "I looked at him as if he were crazy." She says Mandy cried and "I said, 'Mandy this kind of behaviour can't continue.

I'm prepared to replace you.

We're only two weeks in. I can reshoot all your scenes if you can't be more professional.""

Henry Winkler Being Henry: The Fonz... and Beyond

imageThe Happy Days actor shares the pain of his humiliating childhood, due to his undiagnosed learning difficulties. Henry, 79, went on to have a respected Hollywood career and has learned to never let his dyslexia hold him back.

"Somebody suggested I become a producer. I started off saying, 'l can't do it, I'm dyslexic,' and finally you say, 'Oh, just shut up and try.""
