EXCLUSIVE: Barbra Streisand, 84, Sparks Huge Worries for Mental & Physical Wellbeing as She Blasts Hollywood Machine 'From Her Sick Bed'
Friends and fans were alarmed after the 84-year-old skipped Cannes.
Barbra Streisand sparked growing concern after appearing frail in a video address while accepting an honorary Palme d’Or at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
Insiders now fear the Hollywood icon is struggling physically and emotionally after reflecting on decades of painful battles with the movie industry.
The 84-year-old Oscar-winning actor, singer and director had been due to attend the ceremony in person in Cannes, France, on Saturday, May 23, but pulled out on medical advice while recovering from a knee injury.
Streisand instead appeared via video message as festival organizers honored her alongside filmmaker Peter Jackson and actor John Travolta during the 79th edition of the festival.
Her appearance came just months after Streisand returned to the Oscars stage to perform The Way We Were in tribute to her late co-star Robert Redford.
