RIP Robert Redford

[ghostrunner]

Passed at 89.

My past watchlist is actually pretty light on Redford, which I should probably fix. Of his starring movies, I think it's Sneakers, Butch Cassidy..., The Natural, The Horse Whisperer, and Legal Eagles of all things. Also love A River Runs Through It, though he's director and narrator in that one. Oh yeah, and Quiz Show, which he directed. Tried watching The Sting many years ago in my 20s after Butch and Sundance, and I honestly got bored with it, so I should try that again soon.

And of course, a fine looking dude. I've seen this story about The Graduate shared a few times today.

I will miss his Porsche 912 that he drove in Spy Game.



Maybe the only movie where he wasn't the most handsome thing on the screen. (Either the Porsche or Brad Pitt.)

Redford was one of the actors that gave anything he did a sense of credibility; having an onscreen presence like the throwbacks of Spencer Tracy, Bogart, etc. The Natural has been one of my favorites since I was a kid. RIP.

Don't forget about "Jeremiah Johnson".

Redford had not been doing well for a while, so I wasn't surprised when I heard the news this morning. I work with a close friend of his, so I'm thinking about him today.

Here's an Architectural Digest article from 1989 that highlights the Sundance property that Redford owned. The spoilered image is amazing:
