One of his most popular characters, Hollywood golden gold child Robert Redford, who was an Oscar -winning director, liberal activist and baptism for independent cinema under the name of one of his most popular characters, died on Tuesday at 89.
Journalist Cindi Berger said he died in his house.
Mr. Redford was an important figure in defending independent cinema with the establishment of the Sundance Film Festival.
Redford was one of the greatest stars of the 70s with films such as “candidate”, “all presidents” and “the road we are”, the best winner of the 1980s, after rose to the star in the 1960s.
Wavy blonde hair and childish grin made him the most desired from the leading men, but he worked hard to overcome his appearance-the dedication to provide a platform for foolish or low-budget films.
“He’s a very instinctive, impulsive actor, dedi the late Sydney Pollack said to Variety in 2002.
“I don’t think there is something that is examined or previously written about the business.
While Redford was one of Hollywood’s most prominent men in the 70s and 80s, it stands as an equally permanent part of the Festival-Mira of the Sundance Film Institute.
In 1981, Redford founded the Sundance Institute as a non -profit organization to support independent filmmakers, which directly respond to the sovereignty of Hollywood studios, which often ignore unique or unusual sounds.
In the mid -1980s, Redford and the Institute re -branded and restarted as the Sundance Film Festival. Under its leadership, it has become one of the most respected festivals for the leading showcase and global festivals for the independent film in the United States.
“Sundance is just one of its remarkable achievements, Frank said Frank Pierson, the author-director producer, who was the president of the academy at the time.
“When you look at the sum of everything he does as a producer, director and actor, there are not many people who have completely devoted themselves to their ideals like Bob Redford.”
Mr. Redford’s latest screen acting was “Avengers: Endgame ğı, in which he recovered the role of secretary Alexander Pierce and attended other Marvel veterinarians such as Michael Douglas and Tilda Swinton.
More will come.
