From the archives: Robert Redford x 3

Academy Award-winning actor-director Robert Redford turns 88 on August 18, 2024. To celebrate, we look back at three “Sunday Morning” interviews with Redford over the years: From 1994, with Charles Kuralt, who visited Redford’s home in Utah and talked about his early career, and his advocacy of Native American art and culture; from 2008, with Rita Braver, discussing his iconic roles in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” and “All the President’s Men,” and how he nurtures young filmmakers through the Sundance Institute and Sundance Film Festival; and from 2018, with Lee Cowan, at the actor’s ranch in New Mexico, where - at age 82 - he discussed his last film appearance, “The Old Man & the Gun,” and why he doesn’t like watching himself on screen.
"CBS Sunday Morning" features stories on the arts, music, nature, entertainment, sports, history, science and Americana, and highlights unique human accomplishments and achievements. Check local listings for CBS Sunday Morning broadcast times.

Happy Birthday, Robert Redford. Thank you for sharing your many talents with us and making this world a better place. One of my favorite actors. I have enjoyed every one of your films, especially those with Paul Newman. He brings his individual touch of class to everything he does. I love how he has maintained his individuality and not got caught up in the cliche ruined, over indulgent lifestyle of Hollywood. Wishing you every happiness and great success in all your future endeavors. Thank you. ☀️

[@azohundred1353]

Jeremiah Johnson and The Sting are two of his finest films and performances. Robert Redford is a legend.

The Natural is the best baseball movie ever...Thank you, Robert...you and that terrific cast plus the music of Randy Newman made it a classic.

[@manifesteams]

Always an inspiration!

[@sunshine3914]

I was 6 when Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid came out, I don’t think anyone any younger could possibly know how big of a deal a movie star could be.

[@joniheisenberg]

“Crushed by that verdict and too immature to rise above it.”

[@angiejacksonsteward4293]

I love everything about you, Robert Redford!

[@evelynarendse8679]

I. Just. Loved. Robert. He. Was. Handsome. And. Great. Actor. God. Bless. Him❤❤❤

[@patrarus6097]

Loved these three segments! Thanks so much for posting!

[@cocobloco5056]

The man is an American treasure. And at 80 +++ he still has the mind and the charm he has always had....

[@maryeliason1504]

He is a big deal. I still occasionally dream about him! I've been to Sundance & hiked to below Timpanogas. There had been avalanches that winter so it was changed below. The mt never changes. A very beautiful place & at a writer's conference. Bern to Park City a few times. I have some beautiful art that I found at a few galleries. I respect him so much for his contributions to film & the environment & ZHE HAS GREAT HAIR! 😄

[@vanaphill2454]

Excellent interview!

[@susieq111]

#3 in 2018 Lee Cowan reviews his hit films and Redford admits to not watching many of them. Discussions of directing, producing, politics in filmmaking, the growth of Sundance, and a focus on TRYING. I give the whole series 5 Stars.

[@BabsW-k7b]

How refreshing. An actor/director not pushing a candidate on his fans.

[@RockFan89]

Wow things I never knew about Robert Redford. He's my mom's crush and I dont think she knew a lot of this.

[@WendyCarrey]

Robert. Honey. Who knew the True Heaven. Sundance! This place is great for Creative Artists. These Sundance movies. Trumps party Don’t want you to 👁️👁️. Wonder Why? Wendy Carrey👑🇨🇦

[@circleoflife3806]

The most handsome man on Hollywood screen back in the days. Didn't know he bought a large piece of pristine land, then destroyed it by turning it into a ski resort.

[@oarsteed]

It wasn't "pristine" and he didn't "destroy" it--at least not most of it. All of that land had been used extensively for grazing. From his initial 2-acre house lot, RR bought 6,000 more acres (as noted in the video). A small part of that land was used for a ski resort; almost all of it was left untouched, save for hiking trails. In December 2020, to reduce his heavy responsibilities for land management (and certainly to make a lot of money), RR sold 2,600 acres, which include 1,845 acres preserved through a conservation easement and protective covenants.

America let’s get knowledgeable. Sundance is for everyone. These films are here to Teach you. Watch. Learn. And absorb the Richness of Life. The Truth. They don’t want you to be Happy. We do. Sundance Cares about Us. Wendy Carrey👑🇨🇦🥷💎💯🐘🦅

[@lynnturman8157]

You'll always be a big deal to me, Mr. Redford,

[@jeshkam]

"The Candidate" & "Three Days of the Condor". ❤

[@rr7firefly]

Yes, plus "Jeremiah Johnson" and his directorial masterpiece "Ordinary People." (I leave out "The Way We Were.")

[@jeshkam]

@@rr7firefly Oh yeah, I second that. I sort of liked "Electric Horseman" too.

Saw him speak in Albuquerque in 2013. A visionary ❤

[@wood5495]

Before he leaves this earth he needs to do a movie with Brad Pitt as father/son duo.

[@jeshkam]

He sort of did.

[@wood5495]

@@jeshkam What movie was this?

[@jeshkam]

@@wood5495 Spy Game. Not exactly father & son, but it felt like that kind of relationship.

[@wood5495]

[@Bluesky1ification]

Happy 88th Birthday, Robert Redford!. Thank you for you`re legacy, and you`re amazing Ski Resort you made for the world 🙏

[@recherche4528]

Robert DeNiro should have taken Redford’s advice. He was being used to attract crowds when he showed up at the Manhattan courthouse during Trump’s trial.

[@gwynnielsen5081]

Ah, Redford. There will never be another. He was the matinee idol of my youth. I spent hours in movie theaters just looking at him.

[@susieq111]

Shows Sundance Institute, Film Festival and his personal property (but smartly, not the home he built).

[@iminco9844]

A most soulful, substantial artist and humanitarian. Although handsome, he’s much more than a pretty face.
