Remembering Robert Redford

Robert Redford, beloved actor, director, and Sundance Institute founder, passed away on September 15, 2025, at 89 in Utah. As a fan, I fell in love with his films Spy Game, All Is Lost, Three Days of the Condor, and The Last Castle since watching them. His intense yet calm presence made every role unforgettable.

Redford rose to fame as the Sundance Kid in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) and earned an Oscar nod for The Sting (1973). He directed Ordinary People (1980), winning Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture. His Sundance Film Festival, started in 1981, launched films like Reservoir Dogs. Through the Redford Center, he backed environmental storytelling.

Thank you, Robert, for stories that inspire. Rest in peace.
