Barbra Streisand, the Oscar- and Emmy-winning actor, singer, producer, writer and director, has been selected to receive the 2024 SAG Life Achievement Award.
The honor, given by SAG-AFTRA in recognition of career achievements, humanitarian accomplishments and “the finest ideals of the acting profession,” will be presented February 24 during the 30th annual SAG Awards.
The news comes as Streisand released her memoir, My Name is Barbra, in November.
Streisand is an EGOT winner with two Oscars (Best Actress for Funny Girl in 1968 and Original Song for the love theme from A Star Is Born in 1977), four Emmys, 10 Grammys and a Tony Award for Star of the Decade in 1970. The latter came after nominations for the musicals I Can Get Get It For You Wholesale in 1962 in her acting debut and originating the Fanny Brice role in stage version of Funny Girl in 1964.
That same year she won her first Grammys for her 1963 debut The Barbra Streisand Album, and has a total of 46 Grammy noms in a career that has spawned 80 albums. She remains the only recording artist to achieve a No. 1 album in each of the past six decades. Her singing paved the way for several TV variety shows and specials; she won Emmys for them in three different decades.
Behind the camera, she became the first woman to write, direct, produce and star in a major motion picture with 1983’s Yentl, her directing debut that scored five Oscar nominations. She also directed Prince of Tides (seven Oscar noms in 1991) and The Mirror Has Two Faces (two Oscar noms in 1996).
