Alongside a single heart emoji, Lena, 29, shared glimpses of herself with Redford as a child, including a horse-riding photo, a snapshot on a movie set and a photo that included her dad with her and Redford, taken during what appeared to be Lena’s tween years.

“Dad & grandpa,” she wrote alongside another image of Redford and James horseback riding, adding, “I feel like they are riding awesome horses in heaven.”
