"The Oscar-winning actor, director, and founder of the Sundance Film Festival died at his home in Provo, Utah, according to The New York Times. "Robert Redford passed away on Sept. 16, 2025, at his home at Sundance in the mountains of Utah - the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved," his representative Cindi Berger told People in a statement. "He will be missed greatly. The family requests privacy.""
"Redford got his start on Broadway in the late 1950s, drawing raves for the 1963 play Barefoot in the Park, before transitioning to film and TV. He instantly became a bona fide 1970s heartthrob after his breakout role in 1969's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which kicked off a streak that included The Great Gatsby, The Way We Were, and The Sting, for which he landed an Oscar nod for Best Actor."
