Barbra Streisand Was ‘Shook Deeply’ by the Negative Reaction to Her Robert Redford Tribute at Oscars
Barbra Streisand, 84, has pulled back from public appearances following her emotional in memoriam tribute to The Way We Were costar Robert Redford at the Academy Awards, after which viewers criticized her singing voice, sources say.
Now, some are wondering whether Streisand will even attend the Cannes Film Festival, where she’s set to receive the Honorary Palme d’Or lifetime achievement award.
“Right now, nobody knows if she’ll go,” one insider tells Straight Shuter. But if she does show, the insider warns, “Don’t expect her to sing again. The response to her Oscars performance shook her — deeply.”
According to a source, “When Barbra feels hurt, she disappears. She retreats, regroups and shuts the world out.”
