So sad!

What a gorgeous looking man he was and a great actor.

Now I know I'm old.😥

TheDameHelenShiteingMirren · 16/09/2025 13:43

Aw, that is sad.

Whatareyoutalkingaboutnow · 16/09/2025 13:43

He was a great, great actor, an icon. 🥲
If you haven't seen it I recommend All is Lost from 2013.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid. Loved that film.
RIP Robert Redford

Beautiful man and a great star. I remember the Twilight Zone episode where the old lady has barricaded herself in because her fear of death, the upshot is that the Angel of Death is a young RR in a policeman's uniform who leads her happily to the afterlife.

I am putting a request in for this when my time comes.

watched Horse Whisperer this w/e. he and Scott-Thomas were beautiful in it. he always came across as good. promoting the US Film industry with Sundance Festival. his list of films both he acted in or directed is stellar

So sad, I loved Robert Redford. The way we were with Barbra Streisand. One of my favourite films of all time. RIP

Reckon they are both up there now, riding a bicycle to Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head! RIP

My mum loved him! I bet she's first in the queue to meet him in heaven.

Highlighta · 16/09/2025 14:03

Oh this is such sad news.

Alondra · 16/09/2025 14:04

The only actor I fell in love with as a young teenager. I saw him in The Way We Were and lost my young heart to him.

RIP. He'll always be a legendary actor for me.

YumYa · 16/09/2025 14:11

Strange as he was 89 but I was still shocked. He hadn't acted since 2018 apparently?

My mum will be gutted as she always had a bit of a thing for him after BCATSK. To be fair to her I could see why as he did have lovely eyes.

tumblingdowntherabbithole · 16/09/2025 14:17

Oh, that’s sad.

At least he went peacefully though.

"Who are those guys?"

Remember watching that film with my late Mum.

SorrelForbes · 16/09/2025 14:18

Such sad news. I need to re-watch Barefoot In The Park.

Papyrophile · 16/09/2025 14:19

Very sad to read this news. But pleased that he passed gently in his sleep. So many of my favourite actors have left us this year. Just Jack Nicholson left.

Shr3dding · 16/09/2025 14:23

That's a shame, I heard half a sentence of the news and wondered who they were reporting had died

Upset to lose him but happy that he just slipped away in his sleep. He gave back so much with the Sundance festival.

That’s the one they will show, and the Sting I hope, for the soundtrack.

Such an icon. They really don’t make them like that any more, first Terence, now Robert ………..

Pedallleur · 16/09/2025 14:27

Streisand, Fonda, Scott Thomas. Some leading ladies there and he acted opposite them but never eclipsed them.

Streisand. that will be sad when she goes.

ExitPursuedByABare · 16/09/2025 14:29

What a legend. So many fabulous films.

I might have to sob my way through Out of Africa.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 16/09/2025 14:30

89 and died in his sleep

A great loss, but how lovely not to suffer for years like so many older people.

All is.Lost is very good.
An amazing man, what a life. RIP
