Barbra Streisand<\/strong> is getting candid about her appearance.<\/p>\n Ahead of the release of the her memoir, My Name is Barbra<\/em>, the Grammy<\/strong>-winning songstress is giving fans a sneak peak of what we can expect to hear more about when it drops on Tuesday.<\/p>\n In an excerpt obtained by People<\/em> on Monday, the Funny Girl<\/em> actress opened up about her iconic look, revealing she was told many times throughout her career to get a nose job and to consider dental work in order to become more marketable — but she wasn\u2019t ever sold. She writes:<\/p>\n \u201cI thought, \u2018Isn\u2019t my talent enough?\u2019 A nose job would hurt and be expensive. Besides, how could I trust anyone to do exactly what I wanted and no more?\u201d<\/p>\n It is an issue with any cosmetic surgery — it’s not always the look of your dreams. Beyond that, she says she\u2019s actually always liked the shape of her nose!<\/p>\n “Besides, I liked long noses \u2026 the Italian actress Silvana Mangano<\/strong> had one, and everyone seemed to think she was beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n Good for her! But most importantly Babs feared how surgery could potentially affect her musical sound! She says:<\/p>\n \u201cIt was too much of a risk. And who knew what it might do to my voice? Once a doctor told me I had a deviated septum \u2026 maybe that\u2019s why I sound the way I do.”<\/p>\n It’s a really good point! She wouldn’t be the first person to get surgery in the nasal area and find it changed how they sounded! She\u2019s absolutely beautiful, anyway — so why risk that once-in-a-lifetime voice?<\/p>\n But she has clearly been aware of criticism of her looks.\u00a0In another excerpt, Barbra remembers a 1964 Time<\/em> magazine story in which her nose was referred to as a \u201cshrine\u201d that gave her the \u201cessence of hound.\u201d<\/p>\n Ouch\u2026 You know that one stung if she\u2019s held onto it for 60 years now! But she reflects now:<\/p>\n \u201cI guess when you become famous, you become public property. You\u2019re an object to be examined, photographed, analyzed, dissected \u2026 and half the time I don\u2019t recognize the person they portray. I\u2019ve never gotten used to it, and I try to avoid reading anything about myself.\u201d<\/p>\n After all this time, she says she\u2019s \u201cstill hurt by the insults” that she “can\u2019t quite believe the praise.\u201d Aw! Well, the insults are B.S. and the praise is well deserved!<\/p>\n Thoughts, Perezcious readers?? Let us know down in the comments!<\/p>\n
