Robert Redford, a five time Golden Globe Awards winner died at the age of 89. His family confirmed that he passed away peacefully at his home in Sundance, on Tuesday 16 September.

As a director, he won the Academy Award for Best Director for Ordinary People in 1980. The movie also won Best Picture.

Aside acting and directing, Redford founded the Sundance Institute and the Sundance Film Festival. During his tenure, Sundance became an important platform for filmmakers outside the mainstream.

In August 2018, Robert announced that he would be retiring after making The Old Man & the Gun, inwhich he co-starred alongside Glover Danny, Casey Affleck, Waits Tom and Sissy Spacek. “Never say never, but I pretty well concluded that this would be it for me in terms of acting, and I’ll move towards retirement after this ’cause I’ve been doing it since I was 21,” he said at that time.

After a while, he was spotted back on set,

He said “I think it was a mistake to say that I was retiring because you never know. It did feel like it was time, maybe, to concentrate on another category.”

The legend was back on screen few months ago after 6 years. His last screen role was a cameo in 2025 on Dark Winds.

His personal life had ups and downs. He was married twice and had children. One of his children died in 2020, James Redford. He died at age 58 from bile-duct cancer in his liver.

Redford is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren, who continue to be involved in the Sundance organizations and philanthropic efforts he built. He will be remembered not only as an actor and director but also in the institutions he built.

After the announcement of his death, family and loved ones across the film industry are paying their respects. Actress Meryl Streep said “One of the lions has passed.” Jane Fonda described him as “a beautiful person in every way” and praised his belief in an America worth fighting for. Journalist Bob Woodward, whose reporting inspired All the President’s Men, called him “a noble and principled force for good.” Actor Mark Ruffalo shared that Redford was his hero and thanked him for his generosity as a mentor.

The legacy of Robert Redford will never be forgotten.

Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles: Blackgrid

Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles have long made an impression for their individual style, but their recent outings show a more relaxed kind of coordination. The pair stick to simple colors, clean lines, and layered outfits that feel balanced without trying too hard.

During a stroll through Rome, Kravitz wore a camel coat over casual separates, while Styles complemented her with neutral tones and classic outerwear. Their looks work together naturally, showing thought in how each outfit flows without relying on bold patterns or flashy logos.

For anyone following celebrity fashion, their choices offer a clear example of how two strong personal styles can come together in a relaxed, clean way.

Dakota Johnson Joins Lily Allen on SNL for a Stark ‘Madeline’ Performance

Published

on

‍Saturday Night Live delivered a rare moment of live storytelling when Dakota Johnson stepped onstage as the character at the heart of Lily Allen’s Madeline. During her performance, Allen was joined onstage by Johnson, who appeared not as herself and not for a joke, but as the character at the center of the song.

Allen, returning to the SNL stage for the first time in nearly two decades, structured her set with care. She opened with Sleepwalking, then shifted into Madeline, using tighter staging and subdued lighting to adjust the mood inside Studio 8H. The performance felt more like an intimate theater moment than a standard live music segment.

Johnson stepped onto the stage during the song’s spoken section, dressed in black lace beneath a sheer robe. Every word she delivered landed with careful precision, pulling the audience into the story rather than drawing attention to herself. Her gaze stayed locked on the scene unfolding with Allen, and the tension in the song felt tangible, as if the small studio had shrunk around the two performers. The moment felt alive, raw, and uncomfortably intimate.

At the end of the performance, Johnson stepped forward to join Allen at center stage, kissed her on the cheek, and briefly embraced her. The audience reacted audibly, but the song moved straight through to its close, letting the moment resonate on its own.

Since its release, Madeline has prompted careful attention from listeners, many of whom have focused on its themes of betrayal and emotional fallout. Allen has avoided tying the song to a specific real-life narrative, but its clarity has drawn interest. Including another recognizable figure in the performance intensified its impact, making the story feel immediate and grounded.

Celebrity appearances on SNL are nothing new, but this one stood out for its intention and focus.

For a show built on sketches and satire, the performance felt different. It was focused and direct, with an intensity that held the audience’s attention. When the episode ended, the impact of the moment remained, leaving a lasting impression long after the music stopped.
