The legendary actress and singer, 83, is set to receive an honorary Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in May, Variety announced early Wednesday morning.
“It is with a sense of pride and deep humility that I’m honored to join the company of past Honorary Palme d’Or recipients whose work has long inspired me,” the legendary EGOT said. “In these challenging times, movies have the ability to open our hearts and minds to stories that reflect our shared humanity, and to perspectives that remind us of both our fragility and our resilience. Cinema transcends borders and politics, and affirms the power of imagination to shape a more compassionate world.”
While Streisand has starred in beloved films ranging from Funny Girl and A Star is Born to What's Up Doc? and Yentl, one of her most iconic performances is that of Katie opposite Robert Redford as Hubbell in 1973's heartbreaker The Way We Were. When Redford died back in September, many wondered if Streisand would honor the film titan in a performance at the following year's Oscars. Both Variety and Page Six have since reported that Streisand was in talks to honor Redford, with many assuming she would sing "The Way We Were" in his memory.
What Did Streisand Say When Robert Redford Died?
“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! Yes, 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."
