This is Fresh Air. I'm TV critic David B. and Cooley.

Actor Robert Redford, founder of the Sundance Film Institute and the Sundance Film Festival,

died Tuesday at age 89. He never won an Oscar for his acting, but he did win one as a director

for the 1980 film, Ordinary People, and was awarded an honorary Oscar for his influential work with Sundance.

He also was a recipient at the Kennedy Center honors in 2005, and Barack Obama awarded him the

Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016. It was as an actor, though, that Robert Redford made his

most indelible mark of all.

So many of his roles ended up being classic, even iconic.

Butch Cassidy and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,

Roy Hobbs in The Natural, Bob Woodward in all the President's men.

And the list doesn't stop there.

We devote today's fresh air to the memory of Robert Redford

by listening back to two of Terry's interviews with him, and we begin with this appreciation.

Robert Redford was born in Santa Monica in 1936. As a young man, he excelled at athletics, was interested

in drawing and art, and after a trip

around Europe, returned to America and ended up shifting to the dramatic arts, where his good

looks and blossoming talent led to many small roles on stage and on TV.

In 1960, he made his first television appearance on an episode of Maverick and also clocked guest

shots on such series as Perry Mason, Naked City, Route 66, and Alfred Hitchcock's anthology shows.
