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.

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.
