No matter how successful or unsuccessful we are, we all end up in the same place. RIP
RIP .. he did a lot of good things behind the scenes after he quit acting.

I always admired his choice long ago to steer clear of the spotlight with tabloid culture
I know a few people in Hollywood. Redford was always respected as a good and decent man. Something we are in desperate need of today -- good and decent men in leadership positions

Redford helped other artists get started
His Sundance Festival provided exposure for independent film makers

He truly was.
I'm trying to think of some movies he was in where I loved either his character or the movie itself. I have to look on IMDb
A River Runs Through It
Out of Africa
The Natural
OH SHIT! Jeremiah Johnson is for sure my favorite movie of his. I can watch it over and over again.

The thing I liked about Redford, as well as Pitt - they didn't/don't let their egos take roles of men obviously decades younger than them
Unlike Tom Cruise, in his mid 50s, and even now over 60 trying to play roles of a 30 year old.

The reason I loved Jeremiah Johnson so much is I would love to go out in the woods with the supplies he had and live off the land like that.
Did you ever see Alone in the Wilderness on PBS? It reminds me of that guy. He lived 30 years out in Alaska by himself. Very little contact with other humans. Looked very peaceful.
My brother bought 60 acres up north. If I had that property, I would not have built a big expensive home on it like he did. I would put up a Jeremiah Johnson type log cabin in the back of it. And used the East Jordan river instead of plumbing. No electricity. Wood burning stove. And just hang out with my dog.
I can't believe you didn't like Jeremiah Johnson. Classic.
Jeremiah Johnson is a 1972 American Western film directed by Sydney Pollack
And it's a true story. It is based partly on the life of the legendary mountain man John Jeremiah Johnson
The film received very positive reviews from critics, and was a box-office success, earning $44.7 million against a budget of $3.1 million, making it the 6th highest grossing film of 1972.
Interestingly, like critics, I actually didn't love Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It only received luke warm reviews when it came out. But since then:
The American Film Institute ranked Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as the 73rd-greatest American film on its "AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition)" list, and number 50 on the original list. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were ranked 20th-greatest heroes on "AFI's 100 Years...100 Heroes & Villains". Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was selected by the American Film Institute as the 7th-greatest Western of all time in the AFI's 10 Top 10 list in 2008.
I don't think it's the 7th greatest Western of all time. Clint Eastwood and John Wayne own all those.
