Standing ovations and the SAG Lifetime Achievement Award are given to Barbra Streisand

At the recently ended 30th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, actress and singer Barbra Streisand, winner of both an Oscar and a Grammy, was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Receiving this prize is so amazing since you know ahead of time that you will get it. You don’t have to remain squirmy there. Furthermore, you don’t have to pretend to be joyful and say, “I’m so happy to lose!” According to “Variety,” the legend remarked, “Anyway, you all know what I mean.”

“I can’t believe it,” said Streisand, expressing her happiness and pride at having been a SAG-AFTRA member for more than 60 years. When I was a youngster, I can still see me sitting on my Brooklyn bed with a movie magazine and a pint of coffee ice cream, dreaming of being an actor.

She devoted her lifetime achievement speech, according to “Variety,” to the performers present in the theater. She clapped at the audience and said, “And most of all, I want to thank you for giving me so much joy, just watching all of you on the screen.”

When Streisand spoke of seeing “the most beautiful actor” and her “first crush,” Marlon Brando, in the 1954 film “Guys and Dolls,” actress Anne Hathaway gasped in amazement.

She said, “He was so real, so believable.” “And instead of Jean Simmons, I wanted to be the one he fell in love with.”

In front of the celebrity-studded audience, Streisand received her prize from her longtime friend and “Friends” actress Jennifer Aniston.

Jennifer remarked, “Barbara, that’s all you have to say and you know.” “That skill, that face, that voice. How fortunate we are to have such a once-in-a-lifetime ability throughout our lifetimes.

Aniston said that because Streisand had her first big performance at the Shrine in 1963, “on this very stage right here,” maybe the whole evening was preordained.
