brutal

JANE FONDA has taken a brutal swipe at Barbra Streisand as she claims the latter ‘didn’t deserve’ to do the Oscars tribute to Robert Redford.

The US actress, 88, attended the Oscar Awards ceremony Sunday night and revealed that she herself would have liked to have paid tribute to the late actor and friend.

Popular for her roles in Barbarella, Grace and Frankie, and Monster-in-Law the actress hit out at Barbra over the 98th annual awards In Memoriam segment.

The ceremony honoured Robert Redford, an esteemed actor and Oscar-winning director who sadly passed away in September last year. 

Up to the stage to pay tribute to the late star was none other than singer Barbra Streisand, who he famously shared the screen with in 1973 film The Way We Were.

But Fonda seemed put-out by Barbra being chosen to deliver the speech, making her feelings known in a chat with Entertainment Tonight at Vanity Fair’s Oscar after-party.

She said: “I want to know how come Streisand was up there doing that for Redford?”

“She only made one movie with him, I made four! I have more to say.”

The pair were known for their on-screen chemistry which spanned over decades. 

They co-starred in the films The Chase (1966), The Electric Horseman (1979), Barefoot in the Park (1967), and their latest collaboration, the Netflix romantic drama Our Souls at Night (2017).

Speaking about Redford, Jane added: “ I was always in love with him. The most gorgeous human being and such great values. And he did a lot for movies, he really changed movies, lifted up independent movies.”

Streisand had some touching words when she took to the stage to talk about her former co-star during the awards ceremony tribute. 

She said: “He was a brilliant, subtle actor.

 “And we had a wonderful time playing off each other because we never quite knew what the other one was going to do in the scene.”

Barbra played Katie to Redford’s Hubbell in the movie, which saw two total opposite personalities fall in love with each other.

The Funny Girl actress also sang a rendition of The Way We Were, the hit song from the movie as part of the In Memoriam segment.

Jane Fonda was left devastated by Redford’s death last year.

“It hit me hard this morning when I read that Bob was gone,” she shared at the time.

“I can’t stop crying. He meant a lot to me and was a beautiful person in every way. He stood for an America we have to keep fighting for.”
