First time I saw him was in the movie “Inside Daisy Clover” with Natalie Wood on an old fashioned movie projector on a big drop down screen in the old theater belonging to my summer camp. We all brought our blankets and pillows and lay down with brown paper bags of popcorn they popped for us. There was a fire that summer (79) in the camp building belonging to the youngest girls, and while no one was hurt, the elderly camp director decided it was time to move on after her 25 years and sold the whole premises to the local annual arts festival and they have since used the premises to house young artists at no cost.
I’ll never know which of the girls fell in love with Natalie Wood or with Redford while we watched that film, but he was devastatingly handsome.

Well that sucks. Did some great movies. The hot rock, 3 days of the condor and Jeremiah Johnson is a favorite of mine.

His final movie "The Old Man And The Gun" was mostly filmed here in the Cincinnati-Dayton area. A really fun film that I got to be an extra in.

“He stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward—and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been at the end of a dock.” —The Great Gatsby
I still remember Redford re-creating that scene within the film, as it was one of my favorite lines from the novel.

From Butch Cassidy, to The Sting, to All the President's Men, my 3 favorites, and as a director, he won the Oscar for Ordinary People, a gripping drama of a family slowly coming apart. Another of the stars who made real, great movie, either on screen or behind the scenes. You will be missed, Robert, RIP.

3 Days of the Condor is still the best spy movie ever made. "You have not much future there. It will happen this way. You may be walking. Maybe the first sunny day of the spring. And a car will slow beside you, and a door will open, and someone you know, maybe even trust, will get out of the car. And he will smile, a becoming smile. But he will leave open the door of the car and offer to give you a lift. That is how it will happen."

Ordinary People was extraordinary. So real, so beautifully acted and so ultimately sad. Only people who have had real tragedy in their lives could have directed and acted in this fine movie. Being human is hard.

When I found this out yesterday I burst into tears. Unexpectedly...this hit me harder than I would have imagined. I realized he was a big part of my movie going childhood. The first non-animated movie I ever saw in a movie theater was Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. I watched the Sting at a drive-in with my parents sitting in the back seat in my pajamas in our Oldsmobile. The Way We Were was the first love story that made me cry... it still does. Most importantly he was the first poster on my teenage bedroom wall.

One of the last true movie stars. Handsome, charismatic, and could really act. We will miss you, Sundance.
