Remembering a great actor

Barbra Streisand remembers her iconic co-star : https://variety.com/2025/film/news/barbra-steisand-robert-redford-tribute-way-we-were-1236520394/

"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.

Bob was charismatic, intelligent, intense, always interesting— and one of the finest actors ever. The last time I saw him, when he came to lunch, we discussed art and decided to send each other our first drawings. He was one of a kind and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him."
