Legendary actor Robert Redford has died at the age of 89, it has been confirmed. According to his representatives, the screen icon passed away in his sleep at his home in Utah. In 1973, he re-teamed with Butch Cassidy director George Roy Hill (and co-star Paul Newman) for mob boss con movie The Sting, which earned 10 Oscar nominations – including one for Redford in the Best Actor category. Elsewhere in his career, Redford won an Oscar as director of 1980’s Ordinary People; he was nominated, too, for Best Picture and Best Director on 1994’s Quiz Game. He was instrumental in establishing the Sundance Film Festival, through his Sundance Institute organisation, promoting new cinematic voices – named, of course, after his legendary role in Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid.
