R.I.P., Mr. Redford....
He was such an influence in my youth: The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and other films were watched by me on multiple viewings. And those were in the theatres...R.I.P.,🙏

These are all performers I enjoyed in my "Youth". Their passings are reminders I am aging.

i had enormous respect for that man. A MAMMOTH talent and willing to celebrate film with the founding of the Sundance Film Festival.
So many memorable performances and a good and intelligent man besides.
