The award will be presented during the festival’s ceremony on May 23, marking Streisand’s first appearance on the famous Croisette. Known for iconic films like Yentl and The Prince of Tides, the EGOT-winning star said she feels “pride and deep humility” to join past recipients of the prestigious honor.
