Barbra Streisand turned her Hollywood fellows emotional with a heart touching speech while receiving Screen Actors Guild's highest honour, Life Achievement Award, from Jennifer Aniston and Bradley Cooper.
"Barbra did not just pave the way for us women, she bulldozed the road for us," Aniston said, while introducing the actress.
She further noted, "I haven't had the pleasure of working with her yet, but I've been fortunate enough to spend cherished time with her over the years, and I even got to kiss her at midnight one New Year's Eve."
Meanwhile, Cooper also added of Barbra, "In her autobiography, Barbra writes that she is always thinking about a piece as part of a whole, and that is evident in everything that she does. It defines her not only as a great singer, actor, director but as a true auteur."
The 81-year-old actress in her acceptance speech, went down the memory lane to her teenage years, when she used to dream about becoming an actress.
“This is such a wonderful award to get because you know in advance that you’re going to get it and you don't have to sit there and squirm," said Barbra.
"I didn't like reality," Barbra Streisand added. "I wanted to be in the movies even though I knew I didn't look like the other women on the screen. My mother said you better learn to type, but I didn't listen and somehow, someway — thank you, God — it all came true."
