Barbra Streisand pays tribute to Robert Redford: One of the finest actors ever'
"Every day on the set of The Way We Were was exciting, intense and pure joy, she wrote. 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. Bob was charismatic, intelligent, intense, always interesting and one of the finest actors ever."
"It hit me hard this morning when I read that Bob was gone. I can't stop crying. He meant a lot to me and was a beautiful person in every way. He stood for an America we have to keep fighting for."
"He championed progressive values like protecting the environment and access to the arts while creating opportunities for new generations of activists and filmmakers. A true American icon."
Barbra Streisand paid tribute to Robert Redford following his death at age 89, saying he died at Sundance in the Utah mountains surrounded by loved ones. Streisand recalled their time making The Way We Were, calling every day on set exciting, intense and pure joy and noting their contrasts—he loved horses while she was allergic. She described Redford as charismatic, intelligent, intense and one of the finest actors, remembering a recent lunch where they discussed art and agreed to exchange first drawings. The Way We Were was a critical and commercial success; its theme song became a chart hit and received an Oscar nomination. Many colleagues offered tributes.
