Barbra Streisand and Katharine Hepburn famously tied for best actress at the 1969 Academy Awards, but that wasn’t the only Oscar tie
Oscars are the most coveted trophies in Hollywood, but what happens if you have to share yours with someone?
On the night of April 14, 1969, Streisand and Hepburn were competing against Patricia Neal , Vanessa Redgrave and Joanne Woodward . Streisand, then 26, was nominated for her role as Fanny Brice in the film adaptation of Funny Girl. While she originated the part on Broadway and earned a Tony Award nod for her work, the movie marked her first time on the big screen.
Hepburn was not there to collect her award, as she famously refused to attend awards shows on principle. “As for me, prizes are nothing,” she once said. “My prize is my work.” While few would now begrudge Streisand her win, there was some controversy in the weeks leading up to the 1969 Oscars because of the fact that she had only recently been admitted to the Academy. As a first-time movie actress, she didn’t meet the requirements to join, but the Academy’s then president, Gregory Peck, said an exception was made because of her history as a performer.
