"The way you really find out about the performer's seriousness about the cause is the length of time they keep at it when the limelight gets turned off. " (Robert Redford) "People say I've gone against Hollywood, but I've tried out to be independent within Hollywood, tried out to be my own person." (Robert Redford) A lot of printer ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential information, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up on the lives of America's most important women and men in enough time it takes to complete a commute, while learning interesting facts long neglected or never known. When Robert Redford first joined the national limelight in the early 1960s, he was hardly seen as a serious actor, and with his red hair, blond tone, and athletic build, he was seen more as a handsome man when compared to a skilled one. On top of that, he came at the same time in which most Hollywood celebrities were tall, dark, and slim - like one of is own most well-known costars, Paul Newman - and by comparison, Redford looked more like a surfer. It was an unfortunate stereotype because he had already studied behaving and performed on Broadway even while people initially acquired great difficulty in taking him really. The acting roles that he first became famous, such as Barefoot in the Park, included him in what Elisa Leonelli has known as "golden son" roles, and this was something that would take years to overcome, but it also gave him a chip on his shoulder. As he later noted one half in jest, "I think a lot of men and women thought my career began with Butch Cassidy."
