M y first thanks go to my agent, Malaga Baldi, and my editor, John Cerullo. Their support proved to be of great help throughout all drafts of this book, and Im fortunate to be in such good hands. Thanks as well to Mark Erickson, who functioned as a first-class sounding board, and to Christine Pittel for her help in facilitating written interviews. At Rowman & Littlefield/Applause, I owe a true debt to Meaghan Menzel, Jessica Kastner, Della Vache, Barbara Claire, Chris Chappell, and Laurel Myers for their help with myriads of questions and details throughout the process.

Id also like to extend my thanks to the staff at the music division of the Library of Congress, particularly Caitlin Miller, for her expert help in navigating the Librarys collection of the Arthur Laurents papers. Similar thanks to the staff at the New York Public Librarys Performing Arts Division; the Librarys unparalleled collection of books, articles, and clippings remains one of the many reasons I am glad to live in New York City. A similar debt is owed to Matt Howes extraordinary Barbra Archives, where Matts encyclopedic coverage of Barbras career covers not just The Way We Were but all Streisand films and recordings.

A special thanks as well to all those who agreed to interviews and written exchanges about their time on The Way We Were: Barbra Streisand, James Woods, Lois Chiles, Hawk Koch, Grover Dale, Art Smith Jr., and Wendy Stark Morrissey. A particular thanks to the talented and always gentlemanly Alan Bergman for our two fascinating conversations, to Dennis Aspland, and as always, to film author/historian/professor Jeanine Basinger, whose knowledge of film history remains without equal.

Finally, thanks to a terrific group of friends and colleagues whose support and encouragement during the past year have been very much appreciated; too numerous to mention, they know who they are, and I hope they understand that I mention only two by name: my sister Sarah and my nephew Parker.
