Some Thoughts on Redford / myLot

I have been in shock since I learned of his passing. It was an even harder one to bare than Newman's. But, here are a few things I learned about this man that I had not known before: * He had polio when he was young * He lost his mother before he was 20. * He lost an education due to heavy drinking. * He lost two sons, Scott and Jamie. * He had a 27 year marriage. * His dear friend Paul Newman was nearly ten years older. His legacy lives on.

My favorites were The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Those were fun.

I liked him and I liked his movies, but I don't know that he had such a tough life.

I never heard of them, but whoever they are I hope they had the best in life, and before the pass away I hope they have accepted the real meaning and path of life that the world rejects. Aja! God bless.

Robert Redford was a major star. He also had a place in Colorado I believe teaching acting.
