| HOLLYWOOD RECALLS HIS LIFE AND LEGACY |
Robert Redford, the acting idol best known for roles in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and All the President’s Men, has died. He was 89.
In a statement, Cindi Berger, chief executive of publicity firm Rogers & Cowan PMK, said Redford died in his sleep early Tuesday morning at his home in Utah.
“Robert Redford passed away on September 16, 2025, at his home at Sundance in the mountains of Utah, the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved. He will be missed greatly. The family requests privacy,” Berger said.
Redford’s big break on screen was George Roy Hill’s seminal crime film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The California native went on to become one of the most enduring figures of the New Hollywood period, with leading roles in classic movies like All the President’s Men, Three Days of the Condor, The Sting, The Great Gatsby and Sydney Pollack’s Out of Africa.
The 1980s saw Redford debut as a director with Ordinary People and create the Sundance Film Festival, and the latter kept him a prominent industry figure for decades. >>>Hollywood Reacts |
