And Fonda admitted the film gave her one more chance to fall in love with him — on screen, at least. Redford joked that he’d love to work with her again, but time wasn’t on their side.

From Barefoot in the Park in 1967 to their final embrace at the Venice Film Festival premiere of Our Souls at Night in 2017, their bond was undeniable — the kind of Hollywood magic that felt real because, for them, it was.

Talking about their Netflix film Our Souls at Night, Fonda once joked, “There is eventually a love scene. I’m happy with the love scene. I’m unhappy because it was so short!”

Reflecting on their long history together, she laughed, “I’ve been in bed with him a lot,” and later confessed, “I live for sex scenes with [Redford].”

”The only problem with working with Bob is I kind of look into his eyes and I kind of fall into his eyes and forget my dialogue,” Fonda told Ellen DeGeneres in 2017.
