Robert Redford is an actor, film director, producer, businessman, philanthropist, and a founder of the Sundance Film Festival. He has received two Academy Awards; he received one in 1981 for directing Ordinary People, and the other one was for Lifetime Achievement in 2002. Redford’s most noted Western is probably Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). Inspired by the real-life outlaws, Redford and Paul Newman were the perfect duo for this action packed outlaw-western. The film Tell Them Willie Boy is Here is about a young Native American who is hunted by a posse led by the sheriff (played by Redford). This was another classic western of Redford’s in which his character was named, “Coop,” to pay homage to one of his influences, Gary Cooper. Last, and most certainly not the least, it would be a crime not to mention Robert Redford’s inspiring and influential role in Jeremiah Johnson.
