Robert Redford, the legendary leading man actor and Oscar-winning director, has died. He was 89.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Hollywood icon in every sense of the term, Redford got his start in New York City on the stage and small screen, earning an Emmy nomination for ABC\u2019s \u201cThe Voice of Charlie Pont\u201d in 1962. His classically handsome good looks made him a breakout early, but a key decision marked a turning point in his career as he turned down \u201cThe Graduate\u201d and \u201cWho\u2019s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?\u201d in favor of \u201cButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,\u201d fearful of being pigeon-holed as the blonde leading man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was that 1969 classic opposite Paul Newman that set Redford on the trajectory that would include more iconic \u2014 and sardonic \u2014 roles in films like \u201cThe Sting\u201d and \u201cThe Natural.\u201d And, of course, as Bob Woodward in Alan J. Pakula\u2019s classic 1976 Watergate drama \u201cAll the President\u2019s Men.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
