Download Robert Redford: The Biography AudioBook Free
The long-anticipated biography of Robert Redford. Being among the most widely admired Hollywood stars of his generation, Redford has appeared onstage and on-screen, before and behind the camera, gaining Academy, Golden Globe, and a multitude of other accolades and nominations for performing, directing, and producing, as well as for his efforts to the arts. His Sundance Film Festival transformed the world of filmmaking; his movies defined a generation. America has come to learn him as the Sundance Kid, Bob Woodward, Johnny Hooker, Jay Gatsby, and Roy Hobbs. But only now, with this revelatory biography, do we see the surprising and intricate man under the Hollywood facade. From Redford's personal papers, journals, script notes, correspondence, and hundreds of hours of taped interviews, Michael Feeney Callan brings the famous star into focus. Here's his scattered family backdrop and restless child years, his rocky begin in acting, the loss of life of his son, his star-making romantic relationship with director Sydney Pollack, the creation of Sundance, his political activism, his artistic successes and failures, his friendships and romances. This is a candid, astonishing portrait of a guy whose iconic jobs on-screen (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All of the President's Men, The Natural) and directorial brilliance (Normal People, Quiz Show) have both identified and obscured one of the most celebrated, and, until now, least understood, open public figures of our time.
