CNN runs some good bios when celebs like Robert Redford die [View all]

I watched one segment today with the Director of The Natural who said that Redford was a natural athlete and did not use body doubles during the filming. Interesting. I also learned that he was born in Santa Monica, and was familiar with the natural environment in Los Angeles before World War ll. They showed some old video of rivers and how LA used to look. This sparked his interest in environmentalism.

They also showed a lot of stills and video of Robert Redford in his prime. He was great looking. It dawned on me that that is the look that trump is still trying to emulate, even now. He's still going for that hair color and style. Good luck with that. Wasn't happening thirty years ago, and it sure isn't happening now.

RIP, Mr. Redford. Thank you for making this world a better place.
