Robert Redford RIP

[superpatriotman]

Robert Redford, the actor and director who sailed to Hollywood stardom with turns in classics such as “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” and “All the President’s Men” and invigorated American independent cinema as one of the founders of the Sundance Film Festival, died Tuesday morning at his home in Utah, according to his publicist.

He was 89.

Be Robert Redford. A good person.

20. In 1938

Neville Chamberlin accused Winston Churchill of having Hitler Derangement Syndrome.

[Walleye]

26. We should listen to the people who witnessed the rise of Hitler. They are still around, some of them.

R.I.P. Robert Redford.

4. Did not think he'd ever go on. He left a solid legacy.

5. RIP Robert Redford

How can you forget him and Barbra Streisand in the Way We Were???? Loved him in that.

[BonnieJW]

39. And Barefoot in the Park

His dry, humorless response to his new crazy wife in the movie (Jane Fonda), made an otherwise fluffy movie really funny.

[PhylliPretzel]

61. Redford and Fonda teamed up again

in Our Souls at Night in 2017. The chemistry was still there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Souls_at_Night
(I enjoy seeing old folks in an American movie rather than just the young'uns. This is why I watch so much British film and TV series -- the stars look like me!)

6. Damn. As if the bad news will never end. Robert Redford was truly a giant in film, causes,

(environmental, wildlife, and all related), entertainment including independent films...

Wow. I am crushed even though it was only a matter of time.

RIP, Robert Redford. You will certainly be remembered.

RIP

[BigmanPigman]

14. He was a decent human and he deserves peace

I bet he is happier now that he is out of this toxic atmosphere on Earth. He deserved better. I'm jealous.

[JustAnotherGen]

15. I'm so very

Sad.

[EYESORE 9001]

16. I jus rewatched the movie Sneakers this past weekend

I realize critics panned it, but I thought it was terrific.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. A huge loss.

[Nanjeanne]

18. Wonderful actor, director and man.

19. ...

22. Damn....

[Mr.Bee]

23. The Great Waldo Pepper

Robert Redford performed his own stunts, including climbing onto the wings of a plane without safety gear,
for The Great Waldo Pepper (1975), as director George Roy Hill insisted the actors experience real flying conditions, no parachutes or security harnesses were used for such scenes. The film's impressive aerial sequences also featured real vintage aircraft and expert stunt pilots.

[Wiz Imp]

24. A very young Robert Redford played "Death" in a great 1962 episode of the Twilight Zone

[PCIntern]

25. He was a real human being.

A true loss.

[sagetea]

27. Gosh...

What a loss, I hope his kindness and his love for all things wild, spreads and grows.

Not sure if any of you have watched "Dark Winds" on Netflix, Robert was directing it, I wonder if it will continue?

[Silver Gaia]

30. Oh, it will, I am sure.

Dark Winds is very popular.

[mahina]

28. Somehow hard to accept. Thank you for The Milagro Bean field War.

And so many others.

[milestogo]

29. Wonderful actor, wonderful human being.

[Clouds Passing]

31. Robert 😢

[Xavier Breath]

32. If you haven't seen it, check out a later work of his called All is Lost.

He's plays a man lost at sea. And, he's not only the main character, but the only character. There's very little dialogue, yet he manages to convey so much just through his expressions.

[Liberal In Texas]

33. Sad news. So many great movies. He was a national treasure.

Favorites of mine:
Three Days of the Condor
The Sting
The Electric Horseman
The Candidate
and of course, All the Presidents Men

[BonnieJW]

43. Butch and Sundance

[oswaldactedalone]

55. The Sting

Newman and Redford at their best. Probably my favorite movie of all time. RIP Johnny Hooker.

[niyad]

34. Rest in power. So many memories.

Such great work in so many areas. I loved the documentary he narrated on Chaco Cnyon. Utterly fascinating.

Barefoot in the Park. Three Days of the Condor. The Sting.

And a very special one with Jane Fonda, Our Souls At Night. Partly filmed in my neighborhoood, so we got to watch!

[BonnieJW]

44. I don't think he was in Horses

[niyad]

50. You are quite correct. Michael Sarrazin.

[La Coliniere]

35. RIP Mr. Redford

He was a great and passionate downhill skier who did most of his own skiing in his film Downhill Racer which was maybe my favorite film of his since I too love the sport. It’s sad that both Redford and Gene Hackman, who was also in the film, passed within a year of each other.

[barbtries]

36. He was great.

62. My favorite Robert Redford movie was Jeremiah Johnson

I liked all of his movies....

[Emile]

37. My favorite Redford movie was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

All the Presidents Men was great too.

[blogslug]

38. I am aware that life is finite but still, damn.

What a life. What a man. ❤️ 🕯️ ❤️

[Lulu KC]

40. I actually choked up a little

What a guy. Where is my black mantilla? I need it now.

[Moostache]

41. I just watched one of his films last weekend...

Out of Africa (directed by Sydney Pollack, co-starring Meryl Streep)... I also remember him fondly in the adaptation of "The Natural" and many of his other works. A film legend for sure, but a humanitarian and beautiful soul as well. RIP, another light in the darkness has gone out.

[Wild blueberry]

42. Rest in peace

Thank you, Mr Redford, for your great work and being a good person. Thank you.

45. His son died a few years ago of the same rare disease my daughter has.

We met him shortly after her diagnosis when we happened to be in the same city. He was there raising money in support of transplants; my daughter was there to take part in a clinical trial of a repurposed medication for their shared disease.

Jamie was the spitting image of his father . . . So it was quite surreal to be sitting in a hotel bar, casually chatting about poop with someone who looks just like someone I'd watched on the screen. Also interesting to hear the child's view of how Redford handled having a child with a serious medical condition.

The timing of this death is also interesting - my daughter and I just back yesterday from the annual international conference for that disease (primary sclerosing cholangitis). I hadn't thought about that 2009/10 meeting in years.

[peggysue2]

47. I was sad to read this

As a teenager and young adult, I thought Robert Redford was the most handsome man I'd ever seen. And he was handsome and a really good actor with all that 'star' quality of the era. He did a lot of good works beyond the acting field as well.

God speed and

[LetMyPeopleVote]

48. Thank you Robert Redford for your works and your words of wisdome

[Loryn]

49. A true movie star

And what a beautiful man.

[Mblaze]

51. A great man

One of my favorite films of his is "An Unfinished Life" directed by the great Lasse Hallstrom.

RIP - you beautiful man.

[applegrove]

53. He was so charming onscreen. It was great moviemaking.

They'll never be another like him. And what a great legacy he leaves with the Sundance film festival.

[ElementaryPenguin]

54. A marvelous human being, who died with the same dignity and grace with which he lived.

A true loss.

We can celebrate a wonderful life.

I've been dreading this day whenever I considered his age.

[johnnyfins]

56. Rest in peace Roy Hobbs

He lived a very full life.

[GoCubsGo]

57. I like to think he's tipping one back with Paul Newman right now,

somewhere in the afterlife. Talk about a life well-lived. Rest in peace, Bob.

[SWBTATTReg]

58. One of the greats in the Acting World has died (IMHO). He'll be greatly missed. I think I'll have a Robert Redford

weekend soon, where I'll set aside his top 5 movies and watch them. He seemed like he truly was a decent human being.

[Beringia]

59. I have watched a couple of movies with him recently

and I decided he wasn't much of an actor, more just charisma and dead handsome looks, a "Star"

[Escape]

60. He was a Damned Good Man...

and a great and respected actor.

If I had a flag, I'd fly it at half-mast for him.

[Cha]

63. That's the Life I will Celebrate...

Rest In Peace and Power, Robert Redford. 💙

[Botany]

64. Thanx Robert...The Milagro Beanfield War was a great movie
