News Robert Redford dies at 89

RIP, Robert Redford.

Just saw this on the news. He was so incredibly talented, as an actor, writer and director, but he was also such a good person. He was a dedicated environmentalist, and invested his own money in programs designed to foster new talent in the film industry.

He will be missed.

One of the all-time greats and, like his great friend and costar Paul Newman, someone I don’t ever remember hearing anything negative about. What a legacy he leaves, onscreen obviously, but also the Sundance festival and his environmental campaigning.

I also just saw this news. Truly one of the greatest, as Captaindemotion said, both on screen and off. A genuinely good man, someone this world needs more of right now.

Hopefully he and Paul are now planning a heavenly heist.

A sad day but he had a good long life and leaves a heck of a legacy behind.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Rest in peace Mr. Redford. A class act.

 

[Set Harth]

Last thing I saw him in was Dark Winds.

"George, the whole world's waiting! Make a move!"

I need to rewatch The Sting but, perhaps even before then, I need to rewatch Sneakers,

Sneakers, Three Days of the Condor, All The President's Men, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid,,, The list of great films goes on, and he most definitely will be missed.

Thank you for the memories, Sundance Kid.

I was in shock when I heard the news. But considering his age, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. Not only did he co-star in one of my favorite Oscar winning films - "The Sting", he also appeared in my favorite Marvel film, "Captain America - The Winter Soldier".

RIP Mr. Redford.

Genuinely sorry to hear this.
In a world where the word legend is bandied about all too casually,it really applied to him.
Sundance,Johnny Hooker,Condor,Woodward.Wow.

I was thinking the same thing, especially Sneakers. I also need to rewatch Spy Games.

Johnny Hooker (The Sting) , and about a bunch of other primo roles...but his best role was the role he played as Robert Redford...

RIP

I know there's a lot of his films I haven't seen, but Sneakers and Spy Games are regular watches for me. Have to take a look at some of the ones I've missed.

Ordinary People as director.

The older I get and the more families I see affected by divorce and death, the more Ordinary People resonates with me.
It deserved its Oscar for Best Picture.
