Jane Fonda didn't enjoy the Robert Redford tribute at the Oscars.
The 88-year-old actress and activist revealed, following the March 15 ceremony, that she thought she should have been tapped to honor the late director rather than Barbra Streisand. Streisand, who co-starred with Redford in "The Way We Were," gave a short speech at the Academy Awards honoring their friendship, and sang a snippet of the movie's titular track.
"I want to know how come Streisand was up there doing that for Redford?" Fonda told Entertainment Tonight at the Vanity Fair after party.

Fonda, in a playful tone added that Streisand "only made one movie with him, I made four! I have more to say." She added that she "was always in love with" Redford, who died at 89 on Sept. 16. "The most gorgeous human being and such great values," she said. "And he did a lot for movies, he really changed movies, lifted up independent movies."
