Ellise Shafer Barbra Streisand paid tribute to her “A Star Is Born” co-star Kris Kristofferson on Sunday night, following the news that the country music legend and actor had died at 88 years old.
In a post on Instagram featuring their “A Star Is Born” album cover, Streisand reminisced about their time together. “The first time I saw Kris performing at the Troubadour club in L.A.
I knew he was something special,” she wrote. “Barefoot and strumming his guitar, he seemed like the perfect choice for a script I was developing, which eventually became ‘A Star Is Born.’ In the movie, Kris and I sang the song I’d written for the film’s main love theme, ‘Evergreen.'” Streisand and Kristofferson’s “A Star Is Born” released in 1976 and became a huge box office success, earning $80 million in North America on a $6 million budget.
The film, which was the third adaptation of the 1937 original starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, follows an unknown singer (Streisand) who falls in love with a rock star (Kristofferson). “Evergreen” went on to win the Oscar for best original song.
