BIO

This boyishly handsome all-American movie icon first made a name for himself during the 1960s and 1970s in various romantic and political roles, often marked more by thematic weight than emotional depth. Although not the most expressive leading man of his generation, few combined Redford's charm, intelligence, and innovation. Since the early '80s, Redford's appearances in front of the camera have been sparse, as he has devoted more of his time and energy to filmmaking – earning Oscar nominations for both Ordinary People and Quiz Show. To younger audiences, Redford may be just as well known for the renowned Sundance Festival, which has become an important arena for independent films.
