After rising to stardom in the 1960s, Redford became a go-to leading man in Hollywood and a huge star of the ’70s, starring in films including The Candidate, All the President’s Men and The Way We Were.<\/p>\n
In the 1990s and 2000s, his film credits included Indecent Proposal, The Last Castle and Spy Game, while he also worked actively as a filmmaker, helming movies including A River Runs Through It and The Legend Of Bagger Vance. In 1998, he both starred in and directed The Horse Whisperer.<\/p>\n
But he was best known for his role as the Sundance Kid, opposite Paul Newman’s Butch Cassidy in the 1969 film. The pair became a famous screen partnership, starring opposite each other again in The Sting a few years later, and good friends.<\/p>\n
As well as his starring roles, Redford was also an activist and an accomplished filmmaker – winning the Oscar for best director for Ordinary People in 1981. It was the second of his two Academy Awards – the first won for his acting performance in The Sting – as well as an honorary prize in 2002.<\/p>\n
In a career spanning six decades, he also received three Golden Globe Awards, including the Cecil B DeMille lifetime achievement honor in 1994.<\/p>\n
