Robert Redford.
My Better Than Robert Redford dessert recipe was given to Mom by my sister-in-law, Sheila. Since then, Mom has made it for special occasions and Christmas dinners per request from her grandchildren. Her granddaughter, Becky, was visiting her before she returns to college in two weeks. It was the perfect opportunity to cook together, and pass this recipe tradition on to future generations. It was a great day as you can see from the pictures. Becky only knows Robert Redford from past folklore. He was a great movie star in my generation. The legend lives on.

Robert
Redford
AKA Charles Robert Redford, Jr.
Born: 18-Aug-1936 [1]
Birthplace: Santa Monica, CA
Robert Redford's father was an accountant for Standard Oil, and Redford was raised in a comfortable middle-class household. He earned a baseball scholarship to the University of Colorado, but the scholarship was revoked after Redford hosted several drunken parties. He then studied drama at New York's Academy of Dramatic Arts, and became a busy actor on Broadway through the mid-1960s. On off days and between plays he worked on television a lot -- Perry Mason, Naked City, Route 66, The Twilight Zone, The Untouchables, and so on. His first film was the 1962 Korean war drama War Hunt, with Redford in a supporting role as a naïve recruit, and co-starring Sydney Pollack, who later directed several of Redford's most famous films. Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park was Redford's biggest Broadway hit, and he also starred in a 1967 Barefoot film adaptation. It was his sixth film, and it made him famous.
His seventh film was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and at 32, Redford had become the embodiment of "the golden boy". Notable Redford films include The Candidate, The Way We Were, The Sting, Three Days of the Condor, and All the President's Men. He has also made dozens of near-classics, from Downhill Racer and Tell Them Willie Boy is Here to The Natural and The Clearing. He has directed six feature films, winning the Oscar as Best Director for Ordinary People in 1980. He was nominated again for Quiz Show in 1994, and has also directed The Milagro Beanfield War, A River Runs Through It, The Horse Whisperer, and The Legend of Bagger Vance.
Redford's Sundance Film Festival, named after his Sundance Kid character, began as the Utah-US Film Festival in 1978. Held annually in Park City, Utah, the event has evolved into America's most prestigious showcase for films made outside the studio system. (from www.nndb.com)
I graduated in 1969, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is the movie I will remember when I think of Robert Redford.
