Barbra Streisand has shared a deeply moving statement following the death of Hollywood icon Robert Redford. 💔 Their unforgettable collaboration in The Way We Were remains one of the greatest love stories in cinema, and now Streisand has opened her heart with touching words about her friend and co-star.

In her tribute, Streisand recalled the joy and intensity of working with Redford:

“Every day on the set of The Way We Were was exciting, intense and pure joy. We were such opposites: he was from the world of horses; I was allergic to them! Yet, we kept trying to find out more about each other, just like the characters in the movie.”

She went on to describe Redford as “charismatic, intelligent, intense, always interesting— and one of the finest actors ever.”

Their connection lasted long after the cameras stopped rolling. Streisand shared that the last time she saw Redford, they had lunch together and spoke about art, deciding to exchange their very first drawings with one another.

“He was one of a kind and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him,” she wrote, closing her message with love and gratitude.

A Legacy That Will Never Fade

Robert Redford was more than an actor. He was a filmmaker, a pioneer, and the founder of the Sundance Film Festival. His career spanned decades, leaving behind performances in classics such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, Out of Africa, and All the President’s Men.

For Barbra Streisand, his loss is personal — a reminder of the magic they created together and the bond they shared off-screen.

Fans around the world continue to honor both Redford’s work and the special connection between him and Streisand, proving that some legacies are truly timeless.
