Streisand shared a heartfelt tribute to Redford, posting an image from their Oscar-winning 1973 period drama, "The Way We Were." The film followed a couple whose marriage is tested by their opposing societal beliefs.

"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."
