Robert Redford, légende du cinéma américain, est mort (médias)
Robert Redford, an icon of American cinema for the past six decades, died Tuesday in Utah at the age of 89, according to the New York Times and other American media.
The actor starred in classics such as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969), "The Sting" (1973) and "All the President's Men" (1976).
With his insolent beauty, he embodied a certain sunny side of America: environmentalist, committed, independent and prosperous.
His death was announced to the New York Times by agent Cindi Berger. He died in his sleep early Tuesday morning "in the mountains near Provo," she told the newspaper, without giving a specific cause of death.
A staunch Democrat, defender of Native American tribes and American landscapes, founder of the Sundance Film Festival, which has become the international benchmark for independent film, the cowboy with long golden locks has spent his whole life trying to carve out his own path, keeping his distance from Hollywood whenever he could.
The major studios offered him some 70 roles, most of them positive, committed characters ("Three Days of the Condor"), romantic ("The Great Gatsby") and always inspiring sympathy even when he played crooks as in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", "The Sting" or his latest "The Old Man and the Gun" (2018).
He has notably appeared in seven Sydney Pollack films.
Although he received an Oscar in 2002 for his entire career, as an actor he has never been rewarded for a particular film, although several of his performances have been praised in emblematic films such as "Jeremiah Johnson" (Palme d'Or in 1972), "All the President's Men" (4 Oscars in 1977) and "Out of Africa" (7 Oscars in 1986), which established him as the archetype of the ideal lover.
