Founded Sundance Institute, often preached about the green ideology
Actor Robert Redford, who was made famous by his work in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” and earned accolades for “The Way We Were,” “Barefoot in the Park” and “Ordinary People,” has died at the age of 89.
Reports said the Hollywood star, born Charles Robert Redford Jr. on August 18, 1936, passed away Tuesday at his home in Utah.
He once described the attraction of his career: “The idea of being an actor was to have a sense of freedom. You were free to be, to act as someone else, if you were paying attention to the people around you. … You had a chance to be an artist, because acting is an art form. You had a chance to say, ‘I know this person, I’ve seen this person before and I want to bring that forward.
