The gorgeous new book is in stores now.
With her outspoken personality, unconventional beauty, and that once-in-a-lifetime voice, Barbra Streisand became a huge, and unexpected, star. When her career was taking off in 1968, photojournalists Steve Schapiro and Lawrence Schiller began photographing her. They worked with Streisand for over seven years, and 240 of those images are featured in a beautiful new book, Barbra: Streisand’s Early Years in Hollywood ($750). The pricey collector’s edition from Taschen has only 1,200 copies in print, and features a combination of iconic images with never-before-seen shots. The photographers shared a few of their favorite photos of Streisand with Yahoo Beauty.
