Robert Redford is a movie star in every sense of the word. His career has lasted for more than 60 years, and he was already in his early 30s when he starred as the Sundance Kid alongside Paul Newman’s Butch Cassidy. Though Newman sadly passed away in 2008, Redford is still alive and well at 87.
Running down Redford’s storied career would take all day. After capturing audiences’ hearts in “Butch Cassidy,” he went on to star in other classics like “The Sting,” “Three Days of the Condor,” “The Natural,” “All the President’s Men,” “Spy Game,” and “Sneakers.” You could watch every Robert Redford movie and rarely find a true dud, which is a testament to his onscreen charisma regardless of the material at hand. Eventually, Redford also took up directing and producing, winning an Oscar in 1981 for his feature directorial debut, “Ordinary People.”
Now in his later years, Redford has continued to take on prominent roles, even appearing as the villainous Alexander Pierce in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He announced his retirement in 2018 following the release of “The Old Man and the Gun,” which was set to be his final film, but he later said that he regretted doing so. With luck, that means that we still haven’t seen Robert Redford’s final performance.
