I live in Santa Fe. Some friends and I peacefully protested J6 coup-memo author, John Eastman, every day for over a year. Redford lived here part time, and to get to town from his house he'd have to drive by us protesting. He waved to us every single time to show his support. It was lovely.
Another terrific but not well known movie featuring Robert Redford and a great ensemble cast, including George Segal, Zero Mostel, Paul Sand, and Ron Liebman, is "The Hot Rock" (1972), based on Donald Westlake's book of the same name. It's a hilarious and clever movie, which also features in a brief background helicopter scene the now fallen twin towers. Highly recommended!
Thanks for the memories, Meredith. Humble enough to take direction at an advanced age by someone younger than himself, Redford loved the process of acting--possibly because it was difficult Here's another great piece by Sally Jenkins, an expert at highlighting themes in sports and in life: "His decades of work contain a theme so pronounced that once you notice it, you see it everywhere in his films: the hollowness of an easy victory."
Thanks for your descriptions and backgrounds. And I laughed at the several comments you made in parentheses. I don't at all mind looking at a handsome face.

He’s definitely an icon!
