She played a therapist in Meet the Fockers.
In the 2004 hit comedy, Barbra Streisand played Roz Focker — a free-spirited, uninhibited couples therapist who wasn't afraid to say what everyone else was thinking. The role showcased her gift for comic timing alongside Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman and Ben Stiller. It became one of the highest-grossing comedies of its year.
Now she's getting the highest honour in cinema.
