Faye Dunaway has led tributes to Robert Redford, the Oscar-winning actor and director who has died at the age of 89. Redford, known for his activism as much as his film career, starred alongside Dunaway in the 1975 political thriller Three Days of the Condor.
Dunaway described Redford as a 'true gentleman' and a 'brilliant artist', praising his dedication to environmental causes and independent cinema. Redford co-starred with some of Hollywood's biggest names, including Paul Newman in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting, and Barbra Streisand in The Way We Were.
Redford's portrayal of Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward in All the President's Men opposite Dustin Hoffman cemented his status as a leading man of the 1970s. He later founded the Sundance Institute, which hosts the annual Sundance Film Festival, a major platform for independent filmmakers.
Beyond acting, Redford was a passionate environmentalist and climate activist. His legacy includes not only his award-winning performances but also his commitment to nurturing new talent in the film industry.
