I haven't gotten that far? She's 19 and just got the part in "You Can Get it Wholesale" which basically changed her life. She meet her first husband, ended up having a son, and got Funny Girl because of that part.

However, I doubt it. It's out of character. She's somewhat shy and incredibly modest about her body.
And doesn't think she's that attractive. The reason she did the memoir? She was tired of everyone lying about her - and spreading lies. So, felt she should set the record straight and tell it like it is, so to speak. She keeps repeating this. It's ironic too - because she admits to fibbing and lying a lot in the book about things in her past, but she's not lying in the book itself. It's a great listen - it's kind of like sitting in a room with Streisand and listening to her tell you a bunch of stories about her life and career in showbiz. One of the better audiobooks that I've listened to. Actor/Showbiz memoir audiobooks read by the entertainer - are by far the best. (I'm leery of Spears - because she doesn't read it.)

I still don't think Dylan can sing - or rather his singing voice makes me cringe. I prefer other people's renditions of his songs. Although - there are a few of his songs that kind of work best with a rugged sound - like "Work for Somebody" and "Times They are a Changing" - some of his songs kind of need that Woody Guthrie or bad singer vibe to work.
