It has been a titan of the performance, a legend between the filmmakers Indies In the US – for whom, in addition, he promoted the Sundance Festival (baptized by his character from Two men and a destination) -, A lighthouse for Democrats and an activist overturned in social and ecological issues. With the death of Robert Redford, one has not left, but all the Redford that have existed in different fields in the United States. And by the way, an opponent also disappears furious to President Trump.
Redford has died on Tuesday morning at age 89 at his home in Provo, in Utah, as reported by the American newspaper The New York Times. The newspaper has been announced by Cindi Berger, directive of the publicist firm Rogers & Cowan PMK, who explained that he has died while sleeping, but has not pointed out the cause of the obito.
The interpreter starred in films such as All the men of the president, two men and a destination either The blowand received an Oscar award for the best address for Current people. His last appearance in the cinema, however, was in a large budget film, Avengers: Endgame (2018), although, later, after the pandemic, he put his voice at the service of two more projects.
He didn’t even trust such a long and so successful career. This journalist was confessed that he was attracted too much in his youth life hippie Twice he decided to burn the ships in the beginning: the second was in 1966, and with his wife and children he moved to southern Spain, to Malaga, although he had already achieved a certain name on Broadway and left mark on the cinema, in four films. “I was clear, they did not like it. I wanted to be a painter. It took me some time to accept that this passion would become my hobby and that the interpretation would go to the foreground,” he recalled. “And you know when they happened? They called me to star Barefoot in the park, And I returned home. “He never hesitated about his worth. And like many actors, he announced his withdrawal to return to the cinema. In 2018, he assured El País at the premiere of The Old Man & The Gun: “I would like to be remembered for all the work on television, in cinema, in theater. And for my environmental work.”
Redford fought all his life against his obvious beauty, against his appearance as a healthy Californian boy. It was a star, of the best known and with greater weight and prestige of cinema; However, he sought different interpretive projects, was put at the service of films that were beyond mere entertainment. “For me the most important thing is history,” he explained in that interview in the country. That is the first. Throughout my career I have developed a three -step strategy. The first, the story. Second, the character. And the third, the emotion. What has happened at this time is that the fascination with special effects, by explosions, by action, has set aside the story. And that for me is extremely important. Is there a more evocative phrase than the ‘ease once’ with which they all start? ”
However, in that 2018, he also told that the work he kept better was The coup: “In Two men and a destination I played a role in which I felt comfortable and it was a pleasure to work with George Roy Hill. It was then that Paul Newman and I became friends, a friendship that would last a lifetime. But with everything I adore Two men and a destination, The blow It seems to me the best films in the history of cinema. And all the credit is carried by Hill. ”
