Robert Redford, the iconic actor and filmmaker, passed away at age 89 at his home in Sundance, Utah, surrounded by family. His grandchildren paid heartfelt tributes on Instagram, sharing rare family photos and fond memories that highlighted his role as a devoted grandfather beyond his legendary Hollywood career. Conor Schlosser and Lena Hart Redford, among others, posted touching images of time spent with Redford, including horseback riding and moments on movie sets, emphasizing his deep family bonds and the personal legacy he leaves behind.

Redford was the father of four children, though he endured significant family losses, including the deaths of his infant son Scott and his son James, who died of liver cancer in 2020. He often described his children as his greatest achievement and valued privacy regarding family struggles. Survived by his two daughters, seven grandchildren, and his second wife, Sibylle Szaggars, Redford’s family remembers him not only as a Hollywood legend but as a loving patriarch who sought to make the world a better place.
