"Every day on the set of The Way We Were was exciting, intense and pure joy," Barbra began. "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."

"Bob was charismatic, intelligent, intense, always interesting— and one of the finest actors ever," she continued. "The last time I saw him, when he came to lunch, we discussed art and decided to send each other our first drawings."
