Description

David recalls: “He was in London to publicise Ordinary People, his debut as a director, for which he won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a Directors Guild of America Award. This was also the year he founded and set up the Sundance Institute to further independent film making, of which he was a committed advocate. Like photographing a child or a horse, you couldn’t take a bad picture of Redford, his face was perfect, as was his control. Once, according to screenwriter William Goldman, Robert Redford was described as, ‘just another California blonde, throw a stick at Malibu, you’ll hit six of him.’ I’m not so sure about that.”
