It’s Robert Redford’s Birthday!
The always fabulous Robert Redford turns 79 today. In addition to his film roles and starting the Sundance Film Festival, we tend to take his enormous intellect and thoughtfulness for granted.
If you’ve ever been tempted to dismiss Redford as an intellectual lightweight, take a look at this discussion of the legacy of the film All the President’s Men, which took place at the LBJ School for Public Affairs in Austin, Texas in 2011. It’s a film with an enduring legacy.
If he hadn’t become an actor, Redford could have done good work as a Journalism professor!
