"I don't remember where Pete had gone - and I swear this isn't some fantasy I invented - but I was sitting in this office looking around and wondering whose it was, when Redford himself opened a different door and walked in, all dressed in white. He looked as shocked to see someone sitting in his office as I was to find myself face to face with the Sundance Kid."
"When I told him I was from Spain, he immediately started telling me about all the time he had spent there, especially his stint as a painter in Mijas in the '60s. We talked about art, movies, the Spanish Civil War, and I was deep into my family's involvement in the conflict, when Michelle walked in wondering what the hell I was doing in Bob's office."
"Of course I had "met" Redford long before, starting with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I was about 6 and in the middle of an elaborate character game with my friend Ariadna, when her teen sister came into our room crying:"The two most beautiful men in the world are in this movie and you have to come see." I immediately followed her into the living room, where her mother and grandmother where glued to the TV, also crying."
Robert Redford combined roles as actor, director, environmentalist, activist and founder of the Sundance Institute. He met a filmmaker by chance in a Sundance office in New York after her short film Five Feet High and Rising won the festival. Redford greeted her, asked where she was from, and spoke about his time in Spain and painting in Mijas in the 1960s. They talked about art, movies, and the Spanish Civil War, including the filmmaker's family's involvement. The filmmaker admired Redford since childhood after seeing Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, praising its script and cast.
