ROBERT REDFORD – AGE 84

Robert Redford, at 83, is not just a prolific actor, but he is also a producer, a director, and an environmentalist who felt that jumping the gun on retiring was poorly thought out. The veteran actor announced his retirement from the film industry back in 2018 while promoting his film, The Old Man & The Gun, but it is easy enough to forgive the man for his error. For him, he will not make any announcement that he will be retiring but simply fade from the Silver Screen.

Redford is as good at directing and producing as he is an actor. Among the films he directed included The Horse Whisperer, The Legend of Bagger Vance, A River Runs Through It. His love for filmmaking and acting propelled him to establishing the Sundance Film Festival using his own investment money to promote more independent films. Fortunately, he may be backtracking on his words regarding retirement, which his fans are quite happy about.
