ROBERT REDFORD | 85

Robert Redford is a name every woman in the ’60s and ’70s will never forget. Not only because he is extremely handsome during that time, but also because his talents were exceptional. He became a huge star for his performance in the 1969 film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The film was his reference for creating the Sundance Film Festival, which is an annual recognition for independent filmmakers. Being an outstanding filmmaker himself, he was named “Godfather of Indie Film” by Time Magazine. Of course his hard work and undeniable talent is being rewarded.

In 1995, Redford received a nomination for Best Picture and Best Director for his film Quiz Show. In 2002, he received the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement, which makes it his second award. Fast forward to 2010, Redford became a chevalier of the Légion d’Honneur. His last directing credit was in the 2012 film, The Company You Keep, starring himself, Julie Christie, and Shia LaBeouf.
