Brooklyn native Barbra Streisand’s “chatty and candid” (the New York Times) autobiography, My Name Is Barbra, is the subject of a panel discussion, moderated by filmmaker Ethan Fuirst with panelists Maris Kreizman, Soraya Nadia McDonald, and Jonathan Tolins at the Center for Brooklyn History, 128 Pierrepont Street (corner of Clinton) this Wednesday, December 6 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. Following the discussion there will be a performance of a “Streisand inspired number” by “Brooklyn based cabaret and drag artist” Ella Fartzgerald. You will also be able to see, in the CBH’s collection, the page from the 1959 Erasmus Hall High School yearbook with the image of seventeen year old Barbara Streisand (yes, she changed the spelling) and some classmates. There’s more information and RSVP here.
