Good afternoon, Chicago.

Death comes for all of us, but movie stars are granted a kind of immortality as long as their films are watched, writes Nina Metz. Few were bigger names of the 20th century than Robert Redford, who died today at the age of 89 “at his home at Sundance in the mountains of Utah — the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved,” according to a statement from his publicist Cindi Berger.

Redford wasn’t content to be the handsome face with a million-dollar smile. He seemed drawn to elusive characters — of a man holding in all his fears and vapid tendencies — and that would be put to great use over his career, thawing mostly when his primary emotional connection was with men, perhaps most notably opposite Paul Newman as an inscrutable outlaw finally showing some vulnerability in 1969’s “Butch Cassidy,” and the scam artist looking for a partner in 1974’s “The Sting.”
