Jane Fonda has expressed disappointment over not being chosen by the Academy to pay tribute to the late Robert Redford at the 2026 Oscars on Sunday, March 15.
Instead, Barbara Streisand was the one who honored the actor, who passed away at age 89 on September 16, 2025, during the ceremony’s In Memoriam segment.
Fonda based her disagreement on the fact that she had done four films with Redford — The Chase, Barefoot in the Park, The Electric Horsemen, and Our Souls at Night — while Streisand did just one, a romantic drama titled The Way We Were.
