Robert Redford is being remembered by Hollywood as one of the most iconic stars in film history. The Oscar winner died Sept. 16 at his Utah home at 89 years old after a career that spanned classic movies such as “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” and “All the President’s Men,” an Academy Award win for directing “Ordinary People” and the founding of the Sundance Film Institute, among other milestones.
“Robert Redford passed away on September 16, 2025, at his home at Sundance in the mountains of Utah — the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved,” a statement announcing Redford’s death reads. “He will be missed greatly. The family requests privacy.”
Redford’s support of independent cinema through the creation of Sundance was at the forefront of many reactions. As Oscar winner Marlee Matlin wrote on X: “Our film, ‘Coda,’ came to the attention of everyone because of Sundance. And Sundance happened because of Robert Redford.
