Barbra Streisand has paid tribute to playwright Arthur Laurents, who died on Thursday (05May11) after a battle with pneumonia.<\/span><\/p>\n

The legendary writer\/director helped launch Streisand’s career by casting her in her first Broadway musical, I Can Get It For You Wholesale, and he went on to write her hit 1973 movie The Way We Were.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most recently, the pair was in discussions to make a big-screen adaptation of Gypsy but the project was thrown into jeopardy when co-creator Stephen Sondheim spoke out against making another version of the musical.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Streisand has now shared her memories of her late pal, insisting she will always treasure their time together.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a statement, she says, “Arthur and I go way back to I Can Get It For You Wholesale in 1962. Then we did The Way We Were in 1973 and we were about to do Gypsy together.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“He created people you care about because he cared about people. I spoke to him a few weeks ago and he sounded so strong, as always. He was lucky to have lived a full and creative life up til the very end. I\u2019ll miss working with him again.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
