A look at the life, career and activism of Robert Redford

Season 2025 Episode 259 | 6m 30s

Robert Redford, a screen legend, filmmaker, environmentalist and tireless champion of independent voices in cinema, died Tuesday at 89. Revered for his magnetic presence on screen in classics like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Sting" and "All the President’s Men," Redford’s legacy is as much about art as it is about integrity. Jeffrey Brown has this remembrance.
