Remembering the man who gave a generation of filmmakers their first big break.
The curtain has fallen on a true American icon.
Robert Redford, the golden-haired star whose charm defined an era and whose visionary spirit reshaped cinema, has died peacefully at his home in Sundance, Utah. He was 89.
More than just a leading man with a legendary grin, Redford was a chameleon.
He captivated audiences in classics like “The Way We Were” and “All The President’s Men,” then stepped behind the camera to win an Oscar for directing “Ordinary People.”
But his most enduring role was as a champion for storytellers, founding the Sundance Institute to become the unwavering godfather of independent film.
He leaves behind a legacy not just of star power, but of artistic integrity, having forever changed the landscape of the stories we see on screen.
