The frustrations in the movie business led to Barbra Streisand releasing a memoir titled “My Name is Barbra” in November 2023. “If I could have made my movies, I never would’ve written a book,” she told People at the time. In the book, the “A Star is Born” actor spoke about leaving the entertainment industry in the rearview. “I want to live life. I want to get in my husband’s truck and just wander, hopefully with the children somewhere near us,” she told the BBC ahead of the book’s release. “I haven’t had much fun in my life, to tell you the truth. And I want to have more fun,” Streisand added while discussing retirement.
It should be noted that Streisand is among the celebs who announced they retired but never really meant it. In December 2000, the “Woman in Love” singer said she was retiring from performing live. “Why should I do something that I don’t enjoy doing at this stage in my life?” she told ABC News at the time. Streisand added that she would still record music, but wanted to quit performing shows.
Of course, that was not Streisand’s swan song, as she hit the road in 2016 for the “Barbra: The Music .. The Mem’ries … The Magic” tour, which was a massive success. Afterward, Streisand announced she was once again retiring from performing. “No, I would never do another show. It’s exhausting,” the singer told AP. Through the years, Streisand had openly discussed her issues with singing live.
