Review:
"Trying to figure out the Barbra Streisand mystique is no easy task, but Mann expertly captures the launch of her remarkable career in the early 1960s when a unique 'star was born.' Mann's meticulous research and insightful analysis go deeper than any previous biography..."
-USA TODAY "[An] excellent new work...One can only put down HELLO, GORGEOUS with renewed appreciation for Barbra's single-mindedness, and with some glimpse of her inner struggle."
-Liz Smith, syndicated columnist "[A] surprisingly suspenseful and masterfully paced biography."
--Kirkus (starred) "Streisand fans will come away feeling they've had a ringside seat at her early career, and they will leave the show applauding."
--Booklist "A compelling, detailed look at the rise of the multitalented Streisand from 17-year-old unknown to chart-topping singer and Broadway star. Highly recommended for fans of Streisand, biographies, and theater."
-Library Journal "Combining extensive interviews (some anonymous) and exhaustive archival research, Mann balances intimate personal details with audience reactions and critical acclaim to etch an indelible portrait of the artist as a young woman."
