Turns out, the fall did kill him. Eventually.
This is really an end of a era kind of moment.
I think I’ll watch his Twilight Zone tonight: Nothing in the Dark - Wikipedia.
The Sting is one of my all time favorite movies and probably an odd choice, Barefoot in the Park with Jane Fonda.
ETA: Nothing in the Dark, The Twilight Zone: Season 3, Episode 16
I just now saw that on the NYT. Holy shit! Seems like the guy has been around my entire life. Well, I guess he has, since he’s older than I am by eleven years, but I’m pretty sure I would have seen him on “The Twilight Zone” and other series of the 60s.
Robert Redford? You mean the bad guy in that Marvel movie? 
I actually was seriously happy to see him in it after all those years. And yes I remember him from other performances as well.

Liked him in a lot of movies and TV shows (including that Twilight Zone episode, one of his earliest appearances). Loved him in The Sting and The Natural. I didn’t first see Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid until long after it came out.
I saw him, from a distance, the one time I skied at Sundance, his ski resort and one-time movie festival (it’s merged with the Park City festival and moved there now). He was way off in the distance, but people swore it was him out there skiiing.
All the President’s Men is one of my favorite films.
RIP, Robert.
Nice Obit on NPR: Robert Redford has died at age 89 : NPR
I didn’t realize he had a Baseball scholarship to College.
I will always remember him as Jeremiah Johnson and what a powerful character he portrayed.
A truely talented man has left the stage of life.
“Goddammit, Bryson!”
This is a death of an important man. This I can be sad about.
As long as we agree to forget about Indecent Proposal.
i was stunned by the news this morning. amazing career and life.
Thanks for the link. The morning news just had a minute about it.
This is one of my wife’s favourite films. I bought the DVD in 2002, and we watch it about once a year since she moved in, in 2010.
When I told her this morning, she said that now TCM can have a marathon of his films.
I liked it when I first saw it eons ago. I watched it this year, and it definitely made me feel old. The mid-'70s pacing, no computers or cell phones, and I watched as much of the Watergate proceedings as I could after school.
In the praising-with-faint-damns category, literally the worst thing I can think to say about his performance in that one was that — as usual — he simply radiated sincerity in it.
What a long, creative life he had. RIP, handsome man.
I remember my mother was deeply in love with Robert Redford. He was so good in “Three Days of the Condor” - “I gave it to them.”
Elk don’t know how many feet a horse has!
That was a nice article, thanks for that. And I didn’t realize that either. But his baseball moves in The Natural were, uhh, natural.
Damn. 
All the President’s Men, Sneakers, The Sting – those are my favorites. I’ve watched each one a dozen times.
What? What? What? This can’t be real.
You joke, but I was thinking that’s where quite a few people these days will know him from best. I know he’d been working pretty much the whole time, but the last movie I saw him in before Winter Soldier was Sneakers in 1992. No, that’s not quite true, I did happen to catch The Clearing co-starring Willem Dafoe and Helen Mirren in 2004. I suspect most of Redford’s movies wouldn’t appeal to younger people, not counting voice work.
RIP. As already noted, a true icon of the screen and the American West.
Besides his film career, when I think of Robert Redford I remember visiting Arches National Park for the first time and hearing his voice on the park info radio, welcoming visitors to the park and admonishing them to keep their eye on the road. The other thing that comes to mind was his National Geographic-sponsored trek that retraced the Outlaw Trail with a small crew that included Ed Abbey.
