From Hollywood to the world, this is entertainment and celebrity news today. Jane Fonda spoke out after the 98th Academy Awards in Memorium Segment. The show gave extra time to honor big Hollywood names who passed away last year, including Robert Redford. He died in September at age 89. Barbara Streisand went on stage for an emotional musical tribute to her co-star from one film. Fonda wondered why Streisand got the spot when she worked with Redford on four movies. They teamed up starting in the 1960s with the chase and barefoot in the park. Later came The Electric Horseman in 1979 and their reunion in Our Souls at Night in 2017.

Fonda shared warm memories of Redford during a chat after the show. She called him gorgeous with strong values who lifted independent films. Their friendship lasted decades across their careers. Right after Redford's death at his Utah home on September 16th, Fonda told Entertainment Weekly she could not stop crying. She said he meant a lot to her and stood for the America worth fighting for.

The Oscar segment also featured tributes from stars like Rob Reiner, Catherine O'Hara, and Robert Duvall. Fonda ended her own remembrance by singing lines from their Oscar-winning film, The Way We Were. The Daily News Now is grateful to our sponsor for today's episode.
