Barbra Streisand<\/a> is reflecting on the time she spent with the late Robert Redford<\/a>, who died Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Every day on the set of The Way We Were was exciting, intense and pure joy,” Streisand said of working on the 1973 romance. “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.”<\/p>\n Directed by Sydney Pollack, the movie was the story of two people with differing political beliefs \u2014 her activist Katie and his aspiring screenwriter Hubble \u2014 falling in love , marrying, and grappling with the consequences.<\/p>\n “Bob was charismatic, intelligent, intense, always interesting \u2014 and one of the finest actors ever,” Streisand wrote. “The last time I saw him, when he came to lunch, we discussed art and decided to send each other our first drawings.”<\/p>\n She concluded, “He was one of a kind and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him.”<\/p>\n The beloved movie won two Oscars: for the titular song and for the score, both from the late Marvin Hamlisch. It earned four more nominations, including one for Streisand for Best Actress in a Leading Role.<\/p>\n Redford, who was 89, died Tuesday at his home in Utah, his publicist, Cindi Berger, confirmed to Entertainment Weekly. A cause of death was not given.<\/p>\n Streisand’s was one of many tributes made to the movie star, director, and founder of the Sundance Film Festival and Institute in Park City, Utah.<\/p>\n Want more movie news?
