Barbra Streisand reveals her final note to Robert Redford in tear-jerking Oscars tribute

She continued, “Many years later, we were chatting on the phone about the usual, politics, art, Modigliani—our favorite. And as we were hanging up, he said, ‘Babs, I love you dearly, and I always will.’”

That phone call would leave a huge impression on Streisand. It was central when she wrote the last final note to him before he passed away.

“I ended it with, ‘I love you too,’ and I signed it ‘Babs.,’” she recalled.

Robert Redford was loved by many. Barbra Streisand continued by saying that he was “thoughful and bold,” and that she called him an “intellectual cowboy who blazed his own trail.”

Before she left the stage, she belted out a tear-jerking rendition of The Way We Were’s title song. Both Redford and Streisand starred in the film with the same name, and the song won an Oscar for Best Original Song in 1974.
