The fiery campus radical organized rallies and a peace strike, and the memory of her fervour remained with Laurents long after the two lost touch. </p><p>Laurents decided to develop a story with a similar character at its centre, but was unsure what other elements to add. He recalled a creative writing instructor named Robert E. Short, who felt he had a good ear for dialogue and had encouraged him to write plays. His first instinct was to create a crisis between his leading lady and her college professor, but he decided her passion needed to be politics, not writing. What evolved was a male character who had a way with words, but no strong inclination to apply himself to a career using them.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELaurents2000254–257_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000254–257-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Because of his own background, Laurents felt it was important for his heroine to be Jewish and share his outrage at injustice. He also thought it was time a mainstream Hollywood film had a Jewish heroine, and because Barbra Streisand was the industry's most notable Jewish star, he wrote the role of Katie Morosky for her. Laurents had known Streisand for some time, having cast her in his 1962 Broadway musical <i><a href="/wiki/I_Can_Get_It_for_You_Wholesale" title="I Can Get It for You Wholesale">I Can Get It for You Wholesale</a></i>. Hubbell Gardiner, initially a secondary character, was drawn from several people Laurents knew. The first name was borrowed from urbane television producer <a href="/wiki/Hubbell_Robinson" title="Hubbell Robinson">Hubbell Robinson</a>, who had hired Laurents to write an episode of <i><a href="/wiki/ABC_Stage_67" title="ABC Stage 67">ABC Stage 67</a></i>. The looks and personality came from two primary sources - writer <a href="/wiki/Peter_Viertel" title="Peter Viertel">Peter Viertel</a> and a man Laurents referred to only as "Tony Blue Eyes", an acquaintance who inspired the scene where the creative writing instructor reads Hubbell's short story to his class.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELaurents2000258–263_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000258–263-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Laurents wrote a lengthy treatment for <a href="/wiki/Ray_Stark" title="Ray Stark">Ray Stark</a>, who read it on a transcontinental flight and called the screenwriter the moment he arrived in Los Angeles to greenlight the project. Laurents had been impressed with <i><a href="/wiki/They_Shoot_Horses,_Don%27t_They%3F_(film)" title="They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (film)">They Shoot Horses, Don't They?</a></i> and suggested <a href="/wiki/Sydney_Pollack" title="Sydney Pollack">Sydney Pollack</a> to direct.

Stark was less enthusiastic, but agreed because Pollack assured him he could deliver Robert Redford for the role of Hubbell, which Laurents had written with <a href="/wiki/Ryan_O%27Neal" title="Ryan O'Neal">Ryan O'Neal</a> in mind. O'Neal's affair with Streisand was at its end, and Stark wanted to avoid conflicts between the leads.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELaurents2000266_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000266-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Laurents ultimately regretted recommending Pollack. The director demanded the role of Hubbell be made equal to that of Katie and throughout filming, for unexplained reasons, he kept Laurents away from Redford. What was intended to be the final draft of the screenplay was written by Laurents and Pollack at Stark's condominium in Sun Valley, Idaho. Laurents, dismayed to discover very little of his work remained when it was completed, left the project. Over time, 11 writers, including <a href="/wiki/Dalton_Trumbo" title="Dalton Trumbo">Dalton Trumbo</a>, <a href="/wiki/Alvin_Sargent" title="Alvin Sargent">Alvin Sargent</a>, <a href="/wiki/Paddy_Chayefsky" title="Paddy Chayefsky">Paddy Chayefsky</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Herb_Gardner" title="Herb Gardner">Herb Gardner</a>, contributed to the script. The end result was a garbled story filled with holes that neither Streisand nor Redford liked.

He thought it had a few good scenes, and some good moments in bad scenes, but overall, he thought it was a badly photographed, jumbled mess lacking coherence. Both stars appeared to be playing themselves more often than their characters, and Streisand often used a grand accent that Laurents felt hurt her performance. Pollack admitted the film was not good, accepted full responsibility for its problems, and apologized for his behavior. The following day, he retreated to the editing room to improve it as much as possible. Laurents felt the changes made it better, but never as good as it could have been.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELaurents2000280–281_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELaurents2000280–281-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A decade after the film was released, Redford, having made peace with Laurents, contacted him to discuss the possibility of collaborating on a new project and eventually the two settled on a sequel to <i>The Way We Were</i>. In it, Hubbell and his daughter, a radical like Katie, would meet, but be unaware of their relationship, and complications would ensue. Both agreed they did not want Pollack to be part of the equation. Laurents sent Redford the completed script, but aside from receiving a brief note acknowledging the actor had received it and looked forward to reading it, he never heard from him again. In 1982, Pollack approached Laurents about a sequel Stark had proposed, but nothing transpired following their initial discussion. In 1996, Streisand came across the sequel Laurents had written and decided she wanted to produce and direct it, as well as co-star with Redford, but did not want to work with Stark. Laurents thought the script was not as good as he remembered it being and agreed to rewrite it once Stark agreed to sell the rights to the characters and their story to Streisand. Again, nothing happened. The following year, Stark asked Laurents if he was interested in adapting the original film for a stage musical starring <a href="/wiki/Kathie_Lee_Gifford" title="Kathie Lee Gifford">Kathie Lee Gifford</a>.

Two key scenes are included in an alternate version of the film on Blu-ray. One has Hubbell telling Katie that her college comrade in the Young Communists League has informed on her to the HUAC committee. Although Hubbell expresses he will stand up for Katie in the scene, she realizes that she must divorce him in order to save his career. She asks him only to stay with her until their child is born. </p><p>In the second scene, Katie drives through the UCLA campus and sees a young woman, much like herself in her college days, giving a speech against the college demanding loyalty oaths from their professors. Katie at first is elated and then, after the crowd mocks the young speaker, she is in tears, realizing how much she has strayed from her activist roots under the same kind of ridicule. </p><p>As Streisand tells it, Pollack was under pressure from Columbia to tone down the political theme of the film. Richard Nixon, who had been involved in the HUAC hearings, was president at the time, and the studio thought the political plot would jeopardize the commercial success of the film. Pollack and Streisand talk about the deleted scenes in a 1999 documentary about the making of the film, <i>The Way We Were: Looking Back</i>, in which the scenes are shown. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Awards_and_nominations">Awards and nominations</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Way_We_Were&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Awards and nominations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable plainrowheaders"> <tbody><tr> <th>Award </th> <th>Category </th> <th>Nominee(s) </th> <th>Result </th> <th>Ref. </th></tr> <tr> <td rowspan="6"><a href="/wiki/46th_Academy_Awards" title="46th Academy Awards">Academy Awards</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Actress" title="Academy Award for Best Actress">Best Actress</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Barbra_Streisand" title="Barbra Streisand">Barbra Streisand</a> </td> <td style="background: #FFE3E3; color: black; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center;" class="no table-no2 notheme">Nominated </td> <td align="center" rowspan="6"><sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </td></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Production_Design" title="Academy Award for Best Production Design">Best Art Direction</a> </td> <td>Art Direction: <a href="/wiki/Stephen_B._Grimes" title="Stephen B.
