Robert Redford: Hollywood's Golden Boy - the Sunday Story - The Story
Description
With his gorgeous looks, infectious charisma and string of hits, Robert Redford was the face of mainstream Hollywood cinema in the 1970's. But he was so much more than a pretty face, and quickly moved into directing and producing awards winning films, before pivoting to focus on what really mattered to him: the Sundance Film Festival, to support independent film. Despite his huge public profile, Robert Redford remained an elusive, unknowable and very private man.
