Biografía

He often did his own stunts in action sequences but made sure the stunt men who were hired for it were paid, so as not to put anyone out of work.

Dislikes watching his own films. The only film in which he was completely satisfied with his own performance was El golpe (1973).

He is the founder of the Sundance Film Festival, which he named after his character from the movie Butch Cassidy (1969).

Was considered for the role of Michael Corleone in El padrino (1972).

2002: Awarded an honorary Academy Award for lifetime achievement as the creator of Sundance, an inspiration to independent and innovative filmmakers everywhere.

[on refusing the role of Benjamin Braddock in El graduado (1967), the role that made Dustin Hoffman a star seven years before Redford obtained super-star status himself] I never did look like a 21-year-old just out of college who'd never been laid.
