Kid no more

Oh lordy! The dashingly handsome Robert Redford is 75 years old today.

We drooled over him (and the gorgeous Paul Newman of course) in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and again in The Sting, and even the schmaltz of The Way We Were couldn't change that! He starred in many notable films - not least the acclaimed All The President's Men and the award-winning Out of Africa. However, Oscars success eluded him until he turned director (as he remains to date) and the success of Ordinary People in 1980.

Although perhaps no longer the great heart-throb, we can still enjoy the sparkle in Robert Redford's eyes...
