Robert Redford DEAD; Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid Film Icon Has Died at 89
Oscar winning actor Robert Redford has died at the age of 89 as tributes pour in for the Hollywood icon, known for roles in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting AP 16 SEP 2025 ![]() ![]() Ronald Schwary and Robert Redford with their Oscars for the film Ordinary People Robert Redford, the big screen actor turned Oscar winning director, has died at the age of 89. The screen legend died early Tuesday morning in his sleep at his home in Utah surrounded by loved ones. ![]() Robert Redford and wife Sibylle Szaggars The actor, director, producer, and environmentalist is best known for his roles in classic films such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, All the Presidents Men, The Way We Were and Out of Africa. He won an Oscar for directing Ordinary People in 1980 and received an honorary lifetime achievement Oscar in 2002 for his services to film. At his peak, Robert was a silver screen favourite and regarded as one of the most handsome men in Hollywood with cinema goers swooning over his dashing good looks and boyish blond hair. But Robert wasnt just a pretty face, and was praised for his versatility playing both heroes and flawed characters throughout his career. While he went on to become one of Hollywoods most in demand actors, Robert spoke about a number of ordeals he overcame during his humble upbringing including being diagnosed with polio as a child. The devastating disease can lead to severe breathing issues, paralysis, and often death. It wasnt an iron lung case. It was a case of mild polio, but it was severe enough to put me in bed for two weeks The star explained that he developed the disease after swimming in the ocean, saying, I couldnt move very well, but I was not paralysed. The actor would later pay tribute to Jonas Salk the scientist who discovered the polio vaccine in the 1950s as part of a 2014 short film series. I was around when the polio epidemic was still a threat, Redford remarked in the documentary So when Jonas Salk invented the vaccine, it was just earth shattering news. ![]() Sundance Institute President Robert at the 2016 festival Robert Redford, Hollywood Actor And Oscar Winning Director https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypRFwpuaTwM |
