RIP Robert Redford, 89.
One of the all-time great movie stars. A true Hollywood legend who starred in so many of my favourite films: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, The Way We Were, All The President’s Men.
What a career, what an actor, what a sad loss. pic.twitter.com/UxImhSfDVh

Robert Redford has passed away. He was part of a new and exciting Hollywood in the 70s and 80s. Hard to believe he was 89.

Few people did more in their lifetimes to contribute to American society than Robert Redford. In areas ranging from film to environmentalism to politics, he used his enormous power to help create a better world.
May he rest in unending bliss.
