Elizabeth called Fonda, who worked with Redford on “The Chase,” “Barefoot in the Park,” “The Electric Horseman,” and “Our Souls at Night,” “One of his most recognizable leading women.”
She also brought up Streisand, his “The Way We Were” co-star, saying, “People have been quoting it for decades. They will continue quoting it.”
Streep starred alongside Robert in “Out of Africa,” which received 11 Oscar nominations and seven wins.
Wagmeister commented, “I think that actually really speaks to Robert Redford’s career and his film repertoire. It wasn’t just audiences that adored him. It was also the industry that was constantly awarding him and his films, like ‘Out of Africa.’”

After news broke that Redford had died, Fonda told “Extra” in a statement, “It hit me hard this morning when I read that Bob was gone. 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.”
Streisand wrote on Instagram, “Every day on the set of The Way We Were was exciting, intense and pure joy. 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.T he last time I saw him, when he came to lunch, we discussed art and decided to send each other our first drawings. He was one of a kind and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him.”
Streep also shared a statement with “Extra,” saying, “One of the lions has passed. Rest in peace my lovely friend.”
