From the very beginning of his career, Robert Redford was a movie star to end all movie stars. He’s not an actor’s actor like Robert De Niro, but he might be the most beautiful man to ever act in front of a camera, and he’s proven time and time again that there’s much more to him than just good looks. Redford’s charm and natural charisma have made him compelling in a wide variety of roles, and they’ve also occasionally been weaponized against his audience.
Not every role in Redford’s decades-long career has been a roaring success. For every All the President’s Men there’s a stinker like Havana. In general, though, Redford has built a remarkable body of work, and if he never acts in front of a camera again, he can be proud of what he’s accomplished.
