Robert Redford, the Golden boy in Hollywood, who became an Academy Award -winning director, liberal activist and godfather for independent cinema under the name of one of his best beloved characters, died on Tuesday in 89.
Redford died “at his home in Sandans in the Mountains of Utah – the place he loved, surrounded by those who loved them,” the propaganda said in a statement. No cause of death was provided.
After he rose to stardom in the 1960s, Redford was one of the largest stars in the 1970s with films such as “The Candidate”, “All the President of the President” and “The Way in which We were”, and he reigns the contract with the best Oscar director in the eighties of the last century, which links them from them in the 1980s, where she won it through it. His political call, and his willingness to take over as concrete roles or dedicate it to providing a platform for low budget films.
His roles ranged from the Washington Post and Woodward journalist to a mountain man in the movie “Jeremiah Johnson” to a dual agent in Marvel Cinematic University, and his stars included Jane Fonda, Miril Streep and Tom Cruise. But his most famous partner on the screen was his old friend, activist and practical Joker, Paul Newman, their films varied in their warm and exciting relationship outside the screen. Redford Outlaw played in Numan in 1969 entitled “Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid”, which is the smashing of the box office from which the Redford Sundance Institute obtained its name. Also collaborated with Newman the best image of the 1973 Academy Award, “The STING”, who received the Redford Best Actor as a young artist in Chicago in the thirties of the twentieth century.
Film roles after the 1970s became more intermittent, as Redford focused on guidance and production, and his new role as the patriarch of the independent membranes movement in the eighties and nineties of the last century through the Sandans Institute. But he starred in the best photo champion in 1985 “Out of Africa”, and in 2013 he received some of the best reviews in his career, a seed of the ship drowned in “All Is Lost”, where he performed the only movie. In 2018, he was praised again in what was called the William Film, “The Old Man and Venice.”
“I just think I have been in a long profession very happier. It has been a long time, since I was 21 years old,” he told Associated Press shortly before the movie appeared. “I now think that I have reached the eighties of my age, maybe it’s time to move towards retirement and spend more time with my wife and family.”
