The film star, Oscar winner and promoter of independent cinema died in his sleep at home in Utah, said The New York Times
Robert Redford, the Hollywood golden boy who became an Oscar-winning director, liberal activist and godfather for independent cinema under the name of Sundance, one of his best-loved characters, died on Tuesday at 89.
Redford died at his home at Sundance “in the mountains of Utah - the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved”, publicist Cindi Berger said in a statement.
After rising to stardom in the 1960s, Redford was one of the biggest stars of the 1970s with such films as All the President’s Men and The Way We Were, capping that decade with the best director Oscar for 1980’s Ordinary People, which also won best picture in 1980.
