Oscars 2026, Barbara Streisand remembers Robert Redford: “Reflective and daring, an intellectual cowboy”

Barbara Streisand’s tribute to Robert Redford was one of the most intense moments of the Academy Awards ceremony. The great artist recounted the actor’s long career, highlighting his commitment to defending freedom of the press, protecting the environment, and supporting new voices in cinema. “Bob had guts, on screen and off,” she said, her voice broken with emotion. Then she sang “The Way We Were,” the winning Oscar song from the 1973 film *Like a Beginning*, directed by Sydney Pollack and starring the two of them. “I miss my intellectual cowboy more than ever, even though he loved to tease me,” she added. Streisand also recalled their last phone call: “He said to me: ‘Babs, I love you with all my soul, and I will always love you. In the last letter I wrote to him, I concluded with ‘I love you too and I signed it ‘Babs’,” she concluded. Follow the live broadcast.

Today in Labor History November 27, 1937: The ILGWU-commissioned musical "Pins & Needles" opened on Broadway, with a cast made up entirely of International Lady Garment Worker Union (ILGWU) members. Rehearsals were held at night and on weekends, and performances were all on Fridays and Saturdays to appease their bosses (i.e., keep their jobs). In 1962, a 25th anniversary edition of the score was released featuring Barbra Streisand.
