Robert Redford: American Movie Legend Dies

[PeterRS]

He was one of the greats, part of a generation of American movie stars whom everyone knew and whose movies include some of the best-known. Can we ever forget Butch Cassiday and the Sundance Kid or The Sting? At a time when Trump is dragging US politics back into the gutter, we surely remember how Robert Redford inspired us along with Dustin Hoffman in the movie version of the classic Bernstein and Woodward's All The President's Men which showed how Nixon disgracefully also corrupted the system.

Later in his career Redford spent more time as a director. His movies were perhaps less well known, although like All The President's Men, Quiz Show with the great British actor Paul Scofield illustarted how such popular American TV shows were rigged.
