In a poignant and rare public statement, legendary actress Faye Dunaway has paid a moving tribute to her late co-star and friend, Robert Redford, following the announcement of his passing at age 87.
The Oscar-winning actress, who starred alongside Redford in the classic 1975 political thriller 'Three Days of the Condor', described him as "a beautiful man and a great actor" whose legacy would endure through his extraordinary body of work.
Dunaway's emotional words came during an exclusive interview as she arrived at New York's LaGuardia Airport. Clearly moved by the news, she reflected on their time working together, highlighting the unique chemistry that made their on-screen partnership so memorable to audiences worldwide.
The film, directed by the acclaimed Sydney Pollack, became a defining work of 1970s cinema, celebrated for its tense narrative and the compelling dynamic between its two leads. Dunaway's tribute underscores the deep professional respect and personal affection that existed between the two icons.
Redford's impact on the industry was monumental, not only through his performances in films like 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' and 'All the President's Men' but also through his founding of the Sundance Institute, which became a cornerstone for independent filmmaking.
Dunaway's decision to speak publicly offers a rare glimpse into the relationships that define Hollywood's golden era, reminding fans of the human connections behind the silver screen legends.
