‘A dolphin among the sharks’
In 1984, after leaving Africa through a mutual friend in Malibu, I met Bob and then started working for him and became friends. At that time, he set up Sundance and took himself away from Hollywood. It was a dolphin among the sharks. He was the most gentle and wise man he could know in this life.

‘He was more excited to be in the same room as my mother in my doctoral graduation’
In 2008, Robert Redford graduated Honorary for his doctoral graduation at Trinity College Dublin. Although he was the first member of his four -year hard graft and my family to get the title of “dr”, my mother Kalp Throb was much more excited than being in the same room as “Bob”. I went out a little bit from the existence of the called and the existence of Dr Redford, who had shadow my special memory until he was greeted with a blink and a smile. Yeah, I’m a little weakened from the knees. But don’t tell my mother that I told you that.

‘Paul advised him to go to the National Film Theater’
The most unforgettable event Robert Redford’s appearance at the National Film Theater in London in the 1970s (NFT) [now the BFI].

When I see Robert Redford as we are, he is in the college and already in the navy and in the navy. In the navy uniform, a dazzling handsome handless, took my breath. Immediately, I expect the navy that I have a lot of things to wait! No one in my entire career looked as good in this uniform.

Did you know that Robert Redford is the narrator in Planetarium in Kolkata, India? I took my kids there and felt renewed and hopeful. He convinced you that everything could be in the way with his actions and existence, not by hiding the truth.

‘He personified what a honorable man was’
I first saw Robert Redford naturally. He was a beautiful man and I don’t think anyone could compare him with him both on the screen and outside the screen. He tried to do his best to make a better world, and personalized what an honorable man was. Weeks I could only watch Redford in his films and find out what to live a good life as he tried in his own life.

‘He apologized and laughed in a despintenant way’
After working at a large art gallery in London for a few months in the beginning of 2000, we were quite tired when we came to the celebrities on the front line. Then one evening, just before the closure, a man went through a fluctuation along the table line. People entered the nerve chuckles, their cheeks were blushing. The man wanted to buy a ticket for the special exhibition, and it was my poor boss to say that the museum was closed. The man apologized, laughed in a despinance of herself, and headed for the exit. Even this short change showed how beautiful Robert Redford was. They don’t do them anymore.

The man was a star. The term came from a period in which he had a sense of mystery, excitement and awe that has lost our world for a long time. Redford had a spell. It is ordinary to be extraordinary.
Many of them Sundance, simple, without sting, and so on. I know, but I recommend searching for some of the less known works. There is a candidate who is desperate for the High Office and then plays a fascinating political wannaby that is not sure what to do when he gets there. Or, three days of Condor, the government’s conspiracy and a world of a world that has parano is a three -day day.
Add the concern for the film through environment, kindness, humanity and Sundance. And now it’s gone. When we look at the situation of the world, perhaps for the best. It looks almost very good for this place.
