Robert Redford

He was a beautiful young man,the scene in The Way W e Were where he's sat at a bar in his Sailors whites drew gasps of appreciation from the whole audience...every showing .(I worked in the cinema while I was at school).and his Gatsby was second to none fantastic film

my all time favorite/butch and sundance gatsby etc
also one of the most decent humans.human rights,wolf rescue.giving young filmmakers a chance.
have done some cotume work out west and met him for a few minutes when directing "milagro beanfield war"

new(last) film coming out soon.
the old man and the gun
is based on a real person.
he's been acting since 1960 /ex-husband still quotes jeremiah johnson

Gatsby, when he stood looking over the bay ,phew

The Sting, after Butch and Sundance my favourite film.
Hope to see his last film, mimimiro,
I was reading up his biography on Wiki this morning.

Now I want to see The Way We Were again but can't get it on netflix!

I loved Robert Redford in The Natural, a film about a baseball player. If you haven't seen it, seek it out.

That’s the thing about old films, an actor is set in a certain time and can be 30 forever!
I never found him attractive though, and he aged badly IMHO whereas an actor like Paul Newman aged well.

He is still in his 30’s for me ?

Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid is the only film I went to the cinema to watch twice.

mcem maybe you'll get it on Amzon prime .

The film - Seven Years in Tibet - is a very interesting film. A true story about an Australian man who taught the young Dalai Lama about the outside world. I came across it quite by chance some years ago but would love to see it again.

I loved him as Denys Finch-Hatton in Out of Africa. One of my favourite films as I could recognise so many of the locations. But for me he will always be the Sundance Kid!

The man in the film was Austrian not Australian - will try and put brain back in gear!!

paddyann 'The Way we Were' - what you said. Nodding. He certainly was gorgeous in his youth.

There is a film on Netflix and the moment called (I think) Our Souls at Night. He is old in that, but still lovely. (Unfortunate name for a film if you have an accent like mine and run the first two words together.)

Took me a minute there Day6 but

Butch Cassidy, if it's deemed a Western, was one of the few of that genre that I really enjoyed. I was in my teens at the the time but remember going to see it more than once. Other than that loved The Way We Were and Out of Africa. I remember a boyfriend dragging me off to see The Sting and not liking that very much.

Wasn't that Brad Pitt in Seven Years in Tibet? Unless RR was co star?

Yes it was - it came up when I was doing a tad of googling! Was an interesting film though.
I loved the Sting but think it is better when seen subsequent times as things start to fall into place as to why they were done.

I liked him in Indecent Proposal ,, ,and Yes I probably would !!!!

Me too! That chap in the sofa ad reminds me of RR somehow. Maybe the same colouring. Though on another thread, he was described as unattractive. The sofa man, not RR (of course).

So glad he is retiring and nothing more final. I agree, a very handsome man and fine actor. My favourite film with him was Butch Cassidy. Both him and Paul Newman. All those beautiful eyes!

I liked Day of The Condor too.

Great actor. He was fabulous in the Great Gatsby and Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid.

I agree re The Way We Were. It's my favourite film. When Barbra Streisand sees him sitting at the bar in his uniform and quietly says 'Hubble Gardner' I know what she meant!
With apologies to Hubble for the spelling!
