Robert Redford, the Oscar winner and Sundance Film Festival founder, star of movies such as “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”, “The Way We Were” and “Out of Africa”, died early Tuesday. Redford’s long-time publicist Cindi Berger told The Hollywood Reporter he died at his home in the mountains of Utah, “the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved.” Redford leaves behind his wife of 16 years, Sibylle Szaggars, and is survived by two daughters, Shauna and Amy. The actor-producer-director, a four-time Academy Award nominee and honorary Oscar recipient, was one of the few truly iconic screen figures of the past half-century, the avatar of a certain kind of all-American ideal who nonetheless took a dyspeptic view of his country in several notable dramas. Among the many tributes pouring in, Meryl Streep submitted a quote to Deadline, which can be read below. Redford and Streep co-starred in 1985’s Best Picture winner “Out of Africa”, and Redford directed Streep 22 years later in “Lions for Lambs”, in which he also acted.
One of the lions has passed. Rest in peace my lovely friend. (Meryl Streep, Deadline, September 16, 2025)
