"Robert Redford, the actor, Oscar-winning director, and environmentalist who forever changed the independent filmmaking scene with his Sundance Film Festival, has died at the age of 89. The Hollywood icon, who was born on August 18, 1936, died in his home on Tuesday morning, "at Sundance in the mountains of Utah-the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved," his publicist said in a statement."
"Born Charles Robert Redford Jr., the actor appeared in over 50 films, beginning with a small role in 1960's Tall Story- a film adaptation of the play that had served as his Broadway debut the year before. The romantic comedy starred Jane Fonda, also in her film debut. Fonda and Redford would go on to appear in four more movies together throughout their careers."
