Jane Fonda<\/a> didn’t enjoy the Robert Redford tribute<\/a> at the Oscars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 88-year-old actress and activist revealed, following the March 15 ceremony<\/a>, that she thought she should have been tapped to honor the late director rather than Barbra Streisand. Streisand, who co-starred with Redford in “The Way We Were,” gave a short speech at the Academy Awards<\/a> honoring their friendship, and sang a snippet of the movie’s titular track.<\/p>\n

“I want to know how come Streisand was up there doing that for Redford?” Fonda told Entertainment Tonight<\/a> at the Vanity Fair after party.<\/p>\n

Fonda, in a playful tone added that Streisand “only made one movie with him, I made four! I have more to say.” She added\u00a0that she “was always in love with” Redford, who died at 89 on Sept. 16<\/a>. “The most gorgeous human being and such great values,” she said. “And he did a lot for movies, he really changed movies, lifted up independent movies.”<\/p>\n

During her tribute, Streisand, who played the neurotic, political firebrand Katie Morosky opposite\u00a0Redford’s WASPy Hubbell Gardiner<\/a>\u00a0in “The Way We Were,” called her former costar an “intellectual cowboy who blazed his own trail.”<\/p>\n

“Bob had a real backbone on and off the screen,” Streisand said, revealing she could not have imagined anyone else in the role. “I miss him now more than ever,” she added.<\/p>\n

Fonda, who sported a pin with the text “Block the Merger,” a clear nod to\u00a0Paramount’s recent bid to purchase Warner Bros<\/a>, to the Oscars, frequently acted opposite Redford. The pair starred in a string of movies in the ’60s and ’70s, including “The Chase,” “Barefoot in the Park,” and “The Electric Horseman,” then reunited decades later for 2017’s “Our Souls at Night.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
