The Oscar and Grammy-winning actress-singer Barbra Streisand was feted with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the recently concluded 30th annual Screen Ac🥃tors Guild Awards.
“This is such a wonderful award to get because you know in advance you’re going to get it.♍ You don’t have to sit there in a squirm… And if you don’t have to put on such a happy face, ‘I’m so happy to lose!’ Anyway, you all kꦛnow what I mean”, the legend joked, reports ‘Variety’.
Streisand expressed jo🔜y, and revealed that she was proud to be a SAG-AFTRA member for over 60 years, “I can’t believe it. I remember dreaming of being an actress as a teenager, sitt𓃲ing in my bed in Brooklyn with a pint of coffee ice cream and a movie magazine”.
As pe💟r ‘Variety’, she dedicated her lifetime achievement speech to the actors among her in the auditorium. “And most of all, I want to thank you for giving me so much joy, just watching all of you on the screen”, she sﷺaid while clapping out to the crowd.
Actress Anne Hathaway stood in awe as Streisand recalled watching “the most beautiful🐼 actor” and her “first crush” Marlon Brando in the 1954 ‘Guys and D🙈olls’.
“He was so real, so believable,” she said. “And I wanted to be the one he fell in love with, not Jean Simmons▨”.
‘Friends’ star Jennifer Aniston, who is Streisand’s longtime friend, presented Streisand with her award in front of the star-studܫded room.
“Barbara, that’s all you have to say and 💃you know”, Jennifer said. “That face, that vo💖ice, that talent. It is a once-in-a-lifetime talent and how lucky that it is in our lifetime”.
Aniston pointed out that perhaps this whole night was written in fate, as the Shrine was the home of Streisand’s first major concert in 1963, “on this very st🌸age right here”.
