Waldo has left the hanger.

 

Clear skies, sir.  Thank you.

Liked his work!  Didn’t much care for his politics.  He mostly kept the two separate!

 

Great actor!

 

RIP!

[Cypress Sun]

A great actor, probably one of the best ever. My favorite Redford movie is, by a long way, Jeremiah Johnson followed by The Great Waldo Pepper and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Although I detested his political views....I'll still watch the three movies listed above when they come on tv almost every time.

 

Rest in Peace Mr. Redford

I also enjoyed his work, not so much his politics but he wasn’t real vocal about them. My favorite movie of his was Jeremiah Johnson, also Butch and Sundance. RIP Robert. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Ironically,  we just watched The Horse Whisperer (1998) for the first time last night. Probably one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's long at nearly 3 hours, but it never dragged.  Beautiful scenery,  set in Montana and great acting by all, including a very young Scarlett Johansen.

In addition to Butch Cassidy and  Jeremiah Johnson,  another favorite is  The Sting.

Very long and distinguished career.

[J-BAR #18287]

Add Three Days Of The Condor to the list of good Redford movies.

Although not my favorite Redford movie, I still enjoyed watching 'The Electric Horseman' and listening to Willy sing

"My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys"

I forgot about The Natural! Great movie!

[Lawdog Dago Dom]

“The Hot Rock”

 

Redford plays an ex-con who leads a gang of clumsy jewel thieves. Good for a laugh.

[Irish Pat]

my son’s baseball uniform number was always “9” after Roy Hobbs the character Redford played in “The Natural”

A great actor and director. He will be missed. My father-in-law was a huge fan of The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Kinda turned me into a fan. Come to think of it, I can't think of a movie of his that I've seen that I didn't like.

Jeremiah Johnson is one of my favorite movies ever. So many great lines. "Elk don't know how many legs horses got!" 🤣🤣

One Saturday around Christmas, 1972, as I recall, ol' Hank and I moseyed down to a local movie house in San Francisco and watched Jeremiah Johnson.  First thing Monday morning I hied myself on down to the San Francisco Gun Exchange and sure 'nuff, there was a Thompson/Center "Hawken" on the shelf.  It went home with me.  I've enjoyed the heck out of it for over fifty years now.

 

Thank you for the inspiration, RR!

As an aside, some folk deride that rifle, saying it's not as "authentic" as models produced by Lyman and others.  But those "more authentic" models didn't come along until several years later.

[WOLFY]

Godspeed Sundance Kid

[Tooky Slim]

along with all the great movies listed, one of my favorites is BRUBAKER

 

   RIP

An old gunsmith of my acquaintance built museum quality rifles that could have come from J&S Hawken's shop.
He told me one time that if a man wanted a good shootin' rifle, get a Thompson Center Hawken, they were the best commercial made muzzle loader on the market and had he not a .50 Hawken of his own making, that's the one he'd get!

RIP Sr.

Thank you for all the great memories.

I used to own a cabin up at Story, Wyoming and when Mrs. Lose and I would drive up there to visit we’d always take a little side trip on the way up or back and visit some interesting place that we’d heard about. Mrs. Lose wanted to visit Sundance and it wasn’t that far out of the way. We got there at dinner time and while sitting there eating our dinner Robert Redford came through and visited a few tables. I believe he knew the diners at the tables but didn’t visit ours. Mrs. Lose talked about seeing him that close for quite sometime after that.

 

Rest in peace, sir.

Dustin Hoffman beat out Redford for his role in The Graduate. The director said that

Redford was so charming he wouldn’t know how to play a loser.

My pard and late husband, Jerry, worked for the LA Times as freelance photographer way back.  One day he was sent to photograph some big shindig in LA.  There was a man dressed in a tux like outfit standing at the curb.  Jer  walked up to him and spoke to him, thinking he was a valet; Redford was very polite about the whole thing!
