Jane Fonda has criticized the producers of the 2026 Oscars "In Memoriam" for not honoring Robert Redford, who passed away in September at age 89. Fonda shared the screen with Redford across five decades, most notably in the '60s and '70s. The Oscars In Memoriam segment included a segment honoring high-profile Hollywood stars who died in the past year. However, Fonda felt that Fonda should have been the one to honor Redford's legendary career. She also shared thoughts about their friendship and their impact on pop culture and society.
