Robert Redford has died at 89 years old.

The film icon starred in classic films such as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "All the President's Men," won an Oscar for directing “Ordinary People” and founded the Sundance Film Institute, among other career highlights.

RIP to a great actor.
Can’t believe the quote there didn’t include The Sting. Amazing movie.

Agree

As a baseball nuffy I did enjoy "The Natural" even though he was a tad bit to old for the part

And just a personal choice but I reckon "the Horse Whisperer" is incredibly underrated.

Ohhh ... that's sad.  'Norm' was head of the ORCS when I joined up in the early 80's.  He always had time for people, knew everybody in the ORCS by name.  Richmond through & through ...     :clapping
Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!  Loud, proud & dangerous!

Thanks for clarifying he hasn't been head of the CS for a while.

I can clarify that he's passed away.
