Legendary singer and actress Barbra Streisand received a lifetime achievement award Saturday at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles.

“Barbra Streisand is an icon and unparalleled talent, a force of nature who has seamlessly woven her brilliance through the fabric of our industry,” SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher said. “From her earliest days captivating audiences on Broadway to her unforgettable roles in cinematic classics like ‘Funny Girl,’ ‘The Way We Were’ and ‘A Star Is Born,’ Barbra’s ability to inhabit her characters with authenticity is nothing short of extraordinary.”

Streisand is one of the few entertainers in history who have achieved EGOT status — winning an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony Award. Her career has lasted over 60 years, and she is one of the best-selling recording artists of all time.

“Her enduring career is a testament to her genuine performances, connecting with audiences on a profound level,” Drescher said. “She is a colossal icon with a relentless work ethic, evolving with each stage of her remarkable journey.”

Streisand made her Broadway debut in “I Can Get It For You Wholesale” in 1962.
