He was a great actor and so much more. So sad to lose a tireless champion for the environment. R.I.P. Robert Redford.

My grandmother always said to leave everything better than you found it, and Robert Redford did—cinema, the environment, the hidden talent of artists, the fight for one's rights, to be a game changer, not a destroyer. He was a champion of it all and, in 1994, changed my life too. RIP to a true man

Fun visit with my cousin Meg.
