Singer-actress-director-author Barbra Streisand will release an autobiography in 2017. Long awaited, the memoir will be from her own pen, reliving the 73-year-old’s rich life. The entertainer reportedly has been working on a memoir of the entirety of her phenomenal life and career since 2009, beginning with her childhood.

Viking, which will publish the work, said that her stories have “been on the top of every publisher’s wish list for years.” The president of that company, Bill Tart, said that more than 50 biographies have been written about Streisand, all of them unauthorized. These are “full of myths and inaccuracies,” he said, adding that her own story is finally going to be told.

One of those biographies was Barbra: The Way She Is, by Christopher Andersen. In the article “Does the Truth Matter These Days?” published on her personal website, Streisand asked out loud just who is the person was described in the book. “Certainly not anyone I know,” she wrote. She described Andersen’s characterization as bearing “little resemblance to me or anything about me.”

Streisand’s first and only other book is 2010’s My Passion for Design, a recounting of the creation of her dream home, a farmhouse on the California coast. In addition to images of furniture art, and gardens, that book tantalizes with childhood memories, of living in a small Brooklyn apartment with her mother, brother and grandparents.

A rare talent, Streisand is one of only 12 entertainers to win the EGOT, or at least one each of the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards. In 1970 she was presented with a special “Star of the Decade” award.
