Robert Redford, the big-screen charmer turned Oscar-winning director whose hit movies often helped America make sense of itself and who, off screen, evangelized for environmental causes and fostered the Sundance-centered independent film movement, died early Tuesday morning at his home in Utah. He was 89. His death, in the mountains outside Provo, was announced in a statement by Cindi Berger, the chief executive of the publicity firm Rogers & Cowan PMK. She said he had died in his sleep but did not provide a specific cause. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/...e_code=1.mU8.r74k.bah4mXuw4195&smid=url-share
From an outlaw as the Sundance kid to a reporter who took down the president, Redford was a screen legend who took on so many amazing roles. RIP
Sneakers was my personal favorite of his movies, though I have to admit I've never watched BCatSDK or The Sting ... both blind spots that need correcting soon!
