Aaah! Nooo! One of my movieheroes!
I also go watch The Limey tonight. Great performance and nice to see him together with Peter Fonda. Or I watch him in The Hit that is also a great performance and a great movie.

Graham Greene, that’s a shame. He was phenomenal in Red Dead Redemption 2.

In memory of the many lives lost 24 years ago today. And those who are still suffering from the physical and emotional pain from the aftermath of those attacks. You will not be forgotten.
Also, 22 years ago we lost Johnny Cash and John Ritter. They are still missed.

One of the greatest actors who knew exactly that underplaying is an art, charisma is a gift, and films have to be crafted with passion and intelligence.
Cinema is poorer without him.

One of the few remaining big stars from a different era - who went above and beyond his looks to help shape cinema, widen its approach and appeal, particularly that of smaller productions outside the usual mainstream. Cinema - both as entertainment and art form - has a lot to thank him for.

All the President’s Men remains my favorite of Robert Redford’s many films (including those he produced and directed). What a remarkable career … and, it seems, a life well lived.
I never quite understood his heartthrob appeal … but then, I went more for the Al Pacino/Dustin Hoffman look.
But, after I saw All the President’s Men and realized he didn’t just act in it, but he also produced it and was instrumental in getting the book made into such a great film, I gained a newfound respect for him. My respect grew as his career expanded from acting into directing and producing.
Robert Redford could’ve just been a heartthrob … but he was so much more than that. The world is better for it.

Thr Sting is a masterpiece that influences the entire genre to this day.

Agreed. It is one of my favorite movies. George Roy Hill’s peak, and a great 70s movie, even though it is rarely shows up in lists of great 1970s films.
An interesting piece from Anthony Lane in THE NEW YORKER:
Analyzing Redford’s penchant for cinematic solitude, he writes about one of my favorite Redford performances:
In the midst of New York City, too, the C.I.A. analyst played by Redford in “Three Days of the Condor” seems to flinch from human contact, for fear—completely justified—that almost anyone, including a mailman, might want to kill him. That is why, when he finds another loner (Faye Dunaway), their encounter is the most touching, and the most unsettled, in all of Redford’s work. Both of them, you sense, are constantly tempted to shrink back into their shells. I can’t help wishing that the pair had made further films together, the way Alan Ladd (another diffident blond) and Veronica Lake did.
He has captured what I find so intriguing about the film–Pollack understood Redford’s chilly appeal as well as, if not better, than all his other directors.
