Barbra Streisand Details Last Meeting With Robert Redford Before His Death 

Barbra Streisand will always remember Robert Redford as the way he was.

In the wake of her The Way We Were costar’s death at age 89, the two-time Oscar winner reflected on the final time they crossed paths.

“The last time I saw him, when he came to lunch,” Streisand shared on Instagram Sept. 16, “we discussed art and decided to send each other our first drawings.”

And even though she considered herself and the actor to be “such opposites,” their deep friendship endured over the years since costarring as lovers in the 1978 film.

“Every day on the set of The Way We Were was exciting, intense and pure joy,” Streisand, 83, recalled. “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.”

Calling Redford “charismatic, intelligent, intense, always interesting—and one of the finest actors ever,” the Yentl star added, “He was one of a kind and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him.”
