SUPERSTAR Barbra Streisand says she is quitting showbiz aged 81 because she wants “to have more fun”.
The singer and actress releases her memoir My Name Is Barbra tomorrow — and said she considers it a full stop on her career.
She told the BBC: “I want to live life. I want to get in my husband’s truck and just wander, hopefully with the children somewhere near us.
“Life is fun for me when they come over. They love playing with the dogs and we have fun.
“I haven’t had much fun in my life, to tell you the truth. And I want to have more fun.”

She has one son, Jason, from her first marriage to actor Elliott Gould, and in 1998 she wed actor James Brolin, 83, who has three children.

In a career spanning six decades, she has released 36 studio albums, sold more than 150million records and won nine Golden Globes, eleven Grammys, five Emmys and two Oscars.
She starred in the 1976 hit movie A Star is Born.
On her book, which she began in 1999, Barbra said: “This is my legacy. I wrote my story. I don’t have to do any more interviews after this.”
