The stage and screen icon reveals why she didn’t accept the former first lady’s offer — and whether or not that book is ever coming out.
At the time, the former first lady had embarked on a new chapter of her life as an editor, briefly for Viking Press and then for the remainder of her life at Doubleday, following the deaths of her first husband, President John F. Kennedy, and second husband, shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis.Bettmann Archive
And Onassis knew about editing memoirs for superstars, having also worked on Michael Jackson’s bestseller, “Moonwalk,” in the ‘80s. But she never had the chance to work with Streisand, as the “Memory” singer told host Jimmy Fallon, “I wasn’t ready to do that then.” Later, she found herself taking notes about her life, but, “I was always busy doing something else, so I would write in the journals, then go on to something else," she added.
The iconic singer is seen posing alongside President John F. Kennedy in 1963, 52 years before another commander in chief, Barack Obama, presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.“In 1999, I really started writing,” she explained. “And then other things, concerts and movies or whatever ... and then in 2008, IFallon reminded her that it’s 2021 and that she’s been teasing a memoir for as long as he can remember. That’s when she made an announcement that’s bound to thrill fans.
“Fortunately, the pandemic helped me finish the book, or I’m almost finished,” she said. “I’ve written 824 pages, and I still have the little epilogue to do. And you know, interesting, my favorite number — because I was born on the 24th — is 24. This book is now 824 pages.”
