Jane Fonda Outraged at Barbra Streisand – New Hollywood Feud with Anger and Nerves Publicly

A public dispute has erupted between Jane Fonda and Barbra Streisand regarding who should have honored Robert Redford at the 2026 Oscars. Streisand took the stage to pay tribute to the actor, who passed away in September 2025, which sparked Fonda's anger. Fonda argues that her professional relationship with Redford was closer, as they collaborated on four films, compared to Streisand's one. Fonda expressed her disappointment stating she doesn't understand why Streisand was chosen to honor Redford, emphasizing her personal connection and admiration for the actor. She described Redford as a handsome man with great values, who had a significant impact on cinema, particularly independent cinema. Barbra Streisand, during the tribute, described Redford as a brilliant and subtle actor, emphasizing the pleasure she felt working with him due to the unpredictable nature of his performance. Streisand accompanied her tribute with a rare live performance of the eponymous song. Fonda and Redford had collaborated on four films: 'The Tall Story' (1960), 'Chase' (1966), 'Barefoot in the Park' (1967), and 'Our Souls at Night' (2017). Following Redford's death, Fonda had expressed her grief and admiration for the actor, describing him as a man who represented the values for which we must continue to fight.
