The Sundance Kid: A Biography of Robert Redford

by William Schoell, Lawrence J. Quirk

Redford is given his due in this timely biography that benefits from interviews with co-workers, fellow actors, directors, and Redford himself. Not only is Redford's acting career explored-with the speculation that he may have emerged as a much greater actor if he had stayed in the theater-but also his political activities and, of course Sundance.

Interesting, but too much Redford bashing. I will read on to uncover additional opinions and points of view.

It's so obvious that the author doesn't like Robert Redford - but I do! - so it was irritating........I almost don't want to finish it. The photos are good though! (P.S. I finished it but I skimmed.............)
