Hollywood is mourning the loss of one of its greatest icons, Robert Redford, who has died at the age of 89. The legendary actor, director, and activist left an indelible mark on cinema, with a career spanning over six decades.

Redford rose to fame with classics such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) and All the President’s Men (1976), cementing his place among Hollywood’s most enduring stars. Beyond acting, he became an acclaimed director, winning an Academy Award for Ordinary People (1980).

In 1978, he founded the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, which has grown into one of the world’s most influential platforms for independent cinema. Redford’s passing marks the end of an era, but his contributions to film and culture will continue to inspire generations.
