Barbra Streisand approves multi-part documentary that will draw upon her archives

NEW YORK (AP) — A year after telling her story in a 1,000-page memoir, Barbra Streisand has approved a multi-part documentary about her life. It will be directed by fellow Oscar winner Frank Marshall. The documentary announced Thursday by Sony Music Vision is currently untitled and does not have a release date. It will feature rarely seen video, photographs and audio recordings from Streisand’s personal archives. Oscar-winning documentary maker Alex Gibney, whose many credits include films about Paul Simon and Steve Jobs, will serve as producer. Marshall has directed documentaries about the Beach Boys and the Bee Gees
