Oscar-winning actress and singer Barbra Streisand details her anxiety in her new memoir, 'My Name Is Barbra.'

Despite her celebrated career, Barbra Streisand said that her performances have been shadowed by a fear of forgetting her lines — a fear that took root during her early days in Broadway's 'Funny Girl.'She said the off-script, on-stage behavior of her 'Funny Girl' co-star Sydney Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin's son, drove her into therapy and instilled a deep-seated anxiety about live performances.'He kept talking to me on stage under his breath.

With the loss of her father when she was just 15 months old and facing discouragement from her mother, she credits her pursuit of acting as a way to find a sense of belonging and love.'Even though my mother said, 'You'll never make it as an actress. You know, you're not pretty enough,' or whatever, I thought, because I used to read movie magazines, right, and kind of dream, 'Is it, wouldn't it be wonderful?'' she said.
