Barbra Steisand speaks about Robert Redford during the In Memoriam segment during the Oscars on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. opened the segment that was longer than usual because of the number of Hollywood heavyweights who died over the last year.“And it went so well, Rob said, ‘It was so much fun playing your best friend, why don’t we keep it going?’" Crystal said."And it was a thrill seeing him evolve from a great comic actor to a master storyteller.” Crystal recounted such Reiner films as “The Princess Bride, ”When Harry Met Sally, “A Few Good Men,” “Say Anything,” and “This is Spinal Tap.” The segment ended with over a dozen stars from those films — including Meg Ryan, Kiefer Sutherland, Fred Savage, Demi Moore, John Cusack and Ione Skye — standing together on stage.At 83, Streisand has largely retired from touring and live performances due to her well-known stage fright.“He was a brilliant, subtle actor,” she said. “We had a wonderful time playing off each other because we never knew what the other was going to do or say.” Streisand described Redford as “thoughtful and bold,” saying,"I called him an intellectual cowboy who blazed his own trail.” She highlighted his history of defending press freedom, protecting the environment and encouraging new voices in film through his founding of the Sundance Institute in Utah.Redford died in September at age 89. He won a best director Oscar for “Ordinary People.” He and Streisand made one movie together, “The Way We Were,” in 1973. “I miss him now more than ever, even though he loved teasing me,” she said. “He called me Babs. I’d say, ‘Bob, do I look like a Babs?’” They were chatting on the phone and as they prepared to hang up, Redford told her, “Babs, I love you dearly, and I always will,” she said. Streisand said, “The last note I ever wrote to Bob, I ended it with I love you, too. I signed it, Babs.”Standing behind a podium, with her own conductor in the aisle, Streisand picked up a mic and sang, “So it's the laughter we will remember whenever we remember the way we were.” She received a standing ovation.“Believe me when I say there is an actress of my generation who was not inspired by and enthralled with her absolute singularity,” she said."Make new friends, but keep the old.https://apnews.com/hub/academy-awards.
