Hollywood icon, director, and Oscar-winning actor Robert Redford, who also founded the Sundance Film Festival, has been reported dead at the age of 89.
The sad update was revealed by Cindi Berger, his publicist. Berger noted that the talented actor died on September 16 in his home in Sundance, Utah, in America, in the midst of his family.
The late actor became widely known across the globe for his roles in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, released in 1969, and The Sting, which hit the screen in 1973.
Among the popular films that Redford directed is Ordinary People, released in 1980; he also starred in Out of Africa (1985). He was honored with the Academy Award for Best Director for the movie Ordinary People.
The late actor announced in 2016 that he no longer wanted to pursue acting, and he officially retired in 2018.
Redford did not just make his mark in movies; he was also known for championing independent cinema via the Sundance Institute. Last month, the environmental advocate posted on Instagram to mark his birthday, reflect on his life’s setbacks and career challenges, and express his heartfelt appreciation to his supporters.
The late talent, who is often regarded as a heartthrob, preferred to be recognised for his achievements on screen and his lasting cultural impact.
