CBS Sunday Morning: Barbra Streisand opens up to Gayle King and her early career is profiled

n her first autobiography, “My Name Is Barbra,” the celebrated actress-singer-director writes of a life of heartbreaking deprivation and spectacular success, and of an artistic career lauded by critics and fans as peerless. She talks with “CBS Mornings” host Gayle King about her early years as a singer, Broadway performer, film star and director; her romances and marriages; and the double-standards applied to women who are perfectionists in their craft.

Everybody’s gotta start somewhere. For the 19-year-old formerly known as Barbara Joan Streisand, that somewhere was Bon Soir, an intimate nightclub in New York’s Greenwich Village, where her performances heralded the arrival of a major new artist. CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Mo Rocca talks with author James Gavin and critics Wesley Morris and Stephen Holden about Barbra Streisand’s debut, and how New York’s cabarets in the 1950s and ’60s helped launch some of the most influential figures of American popular culture.
