On September 16, 2025, Robert Redford — the decorated actor, accomplished director, founder of the Sundance Film Festival, and one of Hollywood's leading lights for decades — passed away at the age of 89. In a career that stretched across six decades, Redford transformed from matinee idol in films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting, to the Oscar-winning director of Ordinary People, and finally into the patron saint of independent cinema through Sundance. With his golden-boy looks, uncompromising artistic vision, and lifelong commitment to activism, Redford shaped American film both inside and outside the Hollywood system, leaving behind a legacy that bridged stardom, storytelling, and social responsibility.
