"The iconic actor Robert Redford died Tuesday at 89, leaving behind an arsenal of great roles that he owned, whether he was playing a quiet CIA agent, a con man, a baseball player, a grizzled mariner, an ambitious journalist, or a charming WASP in love. You could make a feast out of his Sydney Pollack collaborations alone, staring with Jeremiah Johnson (streaming on Tubi ). And Bay Area fans will remember the 1992 hacker movie Sneakers (available on several streaming sites)."
"His very last role came this year, a cameo in Dark Winds, the AMC show about Navajo police officers he produced. This is a list of some of Redford's most memorable performances, but don't forget about the films he directed, too: among them are the all-timers Ordinary People ( streaming on MGM+ ), which won him the best director Oscar, and Quiz Show (rent on Apple TV+ ), which got him another nod."
