His breakthrough role was "The Sundance Kid" in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), when the actor was 32. The Way We Were (1973) and The Sting (1973), both in 1973, made Redford the number one box office star for the next three years.

In 1980, he established the Sundance Institute for aspiring filmmakers. Its annual film festival has become one of the world's most influential.Redford’s been famous so long we all think we know him. But even a short look at his life and work reveals that’s not true at all.
