Shit............

good actor.

His son lived nearby and he often came to the area and was involved in some environmental projects that I was involved in and fundraisers. Smart man, kind man and a great actor and director/producer.

Sad to hear he has passed.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Redford.

Wonderful picture.

By the time I was six, and two UHF channel movies my dad knew I wouldn't bring anyone ugly home!

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - Poitier

Rest in Power Bob. I'm very lucky to have been on the planet with you, Sidney, and River Phoenix in my lifetime. I'll be watching Sneakers tonight in honor of him . . . and the smorgasbord of hotness with the three of them being in the same movie.

Newman and Redford were one of the greatest duos of all time.

Sorry that they did not make more films together.

Others would be Lemmon and Matthau, Lancaster and Douglas.

Redford was also a great director.

Forget to mention, he made four films with Jane Fonda

Barefoot in the Park
The Chase
The Electric Horseman
Our Souls At Night

Plus the films he made with Director Sydney Pollack

This Property is Condemned
Jeremiah Johnson
Three Days of the Condor
Out of Africa
The Way We Were
The Electric Horseman
Havana

And I was thinking, at least we still have Redford.

Damn.

It’s a shame that he had to leave in these troubled times. He will be missed.

Not just the lifetime of movies, but his social and political stances. He made a tremendous difference being generous with his gifts, and offered an example about being good and decent.

R.I.P.

I love camping in the winter in northern Wisconsin. That movie is the ultimate winter camp movie.

He was an environmental warrior. The world is a lesser place without him.

most of all I loved him for his environmental concern and activism. He and Paul Newman were exemplary men.

He’d been working again but imagine blacklisting Grandpa Walton.

Such a great movie and the photography is spectacular.

After making this movie Redford decided to move to Idaho because he loved it so much.

Filming
edit
After Warner Bros. advanced Redford $200,000 to secure him for the film, Warner decided that the film had to be shot on the Studio's backlot due to cost constraints. Insisting that it must be shot on location in Utah, Redford and Pollack convinced the studio that this could be done at the same cost.[10] To prepare for production, art director Ted Haworth drove over 26,000 miles to find locations.[6] Ultimately, it was shot in nearly one hundred locations across Utah, including: Mount Timpanogos, Ashley National Forest, Leeds, Snow Canyon State Park, St. George, Sundance Resort, Uinta National Forest, Wasatch-Cache National Forest, and Zion National Park.[13]

Still, the scenery in this movie is just amazing!

Loved this man! So many great movies, directing, and being a good human being. Knew this day was coming, but still, too soon.

Not many like him anymore. I want to see flags lowered half-mast--far better man that Kirk would ever be.


The next one I'm really dreading losing is Harrison Ford. He's 83.

I'm an aviation buff and besides Butch Cassidy I fondly remember him as the early century barnstorming Waldo Pepper with Susan Sarandon (1975). No CGI, all stunt flying:
I'm glad he left me with that memory of him.

Even before Butch Cassidy, and he did his own wing-walking with a parachute or safety gear!

His nemesis Axel flew a real Bucker Jungman, a rarity even then.
The legendary Frank Tallman did most of the flying shortly before his untimely death.

Even though it's about barnstormers I recently watched the DVD with my GF and she loved it too. Couldn't be Redford (?) LOL

Instead all the people who are good and do good die before him. Redford's lucky, he won't have to deal with this BS any longer.

He was my first teenage crush (HUGE)!!!

That line from the movie always stuck with me from the first time I saw it. "Fine figure of a man," and he certainly was.

to filmmaking and pioneering efforts in providing a platform for indie filmmakers, Redford was able to use his celebrity to subvert the status quo while advancing his own creative agenda."

More at that link.

No cause of death given. I hope he was able to stay healthy before dying peacefully in his sleep.

I admired him so much for the causes he supported, and his acting and directing.

Also had a huge crush on him, and went through a phase where the guys I dated had appealed to me because they resembled him - which was not the most rational reason to get involved with someone (and there were other reasons) though it seemed to make sense at the time.

""Tonight, for the first time I can remember, I feel out of place in the country I was born into and the citizenship I’ve loved my whole life. For weeks I’ve watched with sadness as our civil servants have failed us, turning toward bigotry, mean-spiritedness and mockery as the now-normal tools of the trade.
How can we expect the next generation to step up and serve, to be interested in public life, and to aspire to get involved when all we show them is how to spar, attack and destroy each other?
It’s hard to blame young people for calling us out, and pointing to our conflicts between the values we declare, and those we stand behind only when it’s convenient to partisanship. Many people are rightly calling it a damn mess.
But I want to encourage you to dig deep for hope and civility right now -- to try to make connections with people you disagree with, to be better than our politicians.
We don’t have to share the same motivations to want the same outcomes. Let’s focus on each other, and strengthening our communities, and reflecting on what’s happening. Let’s live in justice and respect and let others fight it out now to the bitter ends.
This is our country too. Every woman, man and child in it, our American future.
We’ve got work to do."

He’ll be remembered for his positive contributions.

Redford was always one of my favorites. Loved his political thrillers from Three Days of the Condor to Captain America The Winter Soldier. Also kudos to him for the Sundance Festival, he will be missed.

Great guy. Folks should rewatch "All the President's Men".

Talented actor and he was by all accounts one of the good guys.

RIP.

hear him speak at the University of Arkansas about 20 years ago.
R.I.P.

Loved this man!!

I have always loved that movie, and I sat down and watched it last week. His calm demeanor and steadiness in that character was so real.

We lost one of the greats! He was a leading man in more than just movies. His contributions to society were many.

What a gorgeous man, what a wonderful actor and doer of good works. I really thought he'd live forever.

Man this has been a shitty month/year.

light the corners of my mind.

Sooooooo gifted. This is a huge loss.

He was responsible for some of my favorite movies.



RIP and thank you, Mr. Redford

That’s a travesty!

R.I.P. good sir.

The world is less bright now with his passing.
What a class act and actor.
How fame should be handled and so rarely is.RIP.

Just bought a used dvd, All the Presidents men. I read the book un college and wrote a review. He was such a good guy and handsome!

May he rest in peace.

Thanks for all the great movies, Sundance,....and most of all for you immense environmental works!

A life well lived.

One of the good guys, the best!

Lucky combo for him he let us share it. Some of it, I imagine.

He spoke fluent German. My wife and I had a long discussion with him and his wife a few years back. It surprised me. He was a gracious and down to earth person is any language.

He was one of the first environmental activist that had a public platform to capitalize off of. He not only was instrumental in the founding of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) but also reaching to children with the Wilderness Society. I cannot remember the name of the kids eco magazine he founded, but I read every issue cover to cover.

“Bob” was known for being a heartthrob and a great actor (and filmmaker), establishing the Sundance Film Festival, and a host of other things, but his example, advocacy, and investment in advancing care and protection for the environment is what his true legacy should be.

How sad for him to die, knowing what is coming and what has been broken of his life’s work with the sycophantic cretins in this administration.

We will fight on, Bob and carry the torch.

https://orionmagazine.org/article/robert-redford-nature-interview/

And didn't know he helped found the NRDC which I contributed to.

In downtown Santa Monica, CA, which is Redford’s hometown.

I have tried to research which kids publication he was involved with but I can never find it.

They don’t make them like Bob, anymore sadly.

At the exact time as that service for Charlie Kirk. Talk about a final, great gift to the nation...

She said "Robert, who" Rudford?" She looked him up on her phone and recognized his face as someone she thought she saw in a commercial once.

This getting old thing sucks.

Anyway, RIP Robert Redford. You were an icon.

But based on my visceral reaction to this news, apparently I knew him personally and we were madly in love for years. That's how I'm feeling it!

I am saddened to learn of Robert Redford's death. I remember the 1st films I ever saw him in, This Property is Condemned and Inside Daisy Clover both with Natalie Wood and knew this man would be a star. . I was smitten. I was about 8 or so at the time and I decided I wanted to be a star too. But I digress. He directed one of my favorite movies, Ordinary People and starred in another , Sydney Pollack's Out of Africa and in between provided me with so many moments of entertainment too long to list here. I thank you, Mr Redford for your commitment to independent film and to climate change. and I am forever grateful for the legacy you leave. Blessings to all who loved him.

About the need for our institutions to be truthful for democracy to work. It was never really about a quiz show.

Rest in Peace, and thank you from the bottom of my heart. A sad goodbye, Sundance.

Great man that I always looked up to!

what a remarkable life. If there's a heaven, I hope he and Paul Newman are hanging out.

Dying.

RIP Mr. REDFORD

All The President's Men
Three Days Of The Condor
Spy Games
Sneakers
The Natural

RIP Robert Redford.

He was an executive producer on series based around indigenous people, like Dark Winds and Skinwalkers. Both were based on Tony Hillerman novels.

After I've woken up I often go check my text messages, then go to DU.
Today I decided let's go to Google feed first to see happier, and interesting stuff.
And the second thing I see is about Redford. 😑 Damn.

My favorite movie was Electric Horseman. A handsome man, a beautiful woman, a lovely horse, and gorgeous scenery; what's not to love! Funny, too!

Of course, All The President's Men!
The Natural.

So much activism, some I 'd forgotten, or didn't know about! Thank you, Mr Redford.
Sundance, of course.

And he studied painting at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn! Didn't know he had an interest in painting!

One great acting role of his that is often overlooked is The Candidate. It was a bit ahead of its time in portraying running for a high office (present dystopia excluded).

I really liked his work as a director - Ordinary People, Quiz Show, The Milagro Beanfield War. Also, he founded the Sundance Film Festival, which did a lot to advance quality independent films.

RIP

and to Boulder, Colorado. I think they said something along the lines of CO being a better "cultural" fit.

I liked a lot of his movies.

But I respected him more as a visionary, as a thinker, as an artist and as an activist.

A wonderful man.

I feel so blessed to have lived in the time he did. RIP, Bob.

another great one is gone.

R-I-P 🙏
