Stone, DIR Remembering Robert Redford (1936-2025) On September 16, DGA President Lesli Linka Glatter made the following statement upon learning of the passing of Robert Redford. "With Bob's passing, we have lost an incomparable Director, Actor, and independent fi lm icon. Bob's masterful directorial debut in 1980 with Ordinary People, for which he won the DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film, not only catapulted his career as a Director, but also showcased his ability to rouse powerful, resonant performances from his actors," said Glatter. "He proved himself a master time and time again with such modern classics as A River Runs Through It, Quiz Show — for which he earned a DGA Award nomination in 1994 — and Lions for Lambs." "Bob was also a passionate advocate, always searching for ways to support fi lmmakers and bolster the craft of storytelling. His establishment of the Sundance Institute over 40 years ago embodies his legacy of giving back — shaping the landscape of independent fi lmmaking and paving the way for more diverse voices to be heard. And through his decades-long stewardship of the Sundance Film Festival, he advanced a showcase where independent fi lm could truly thrive. He was a strong believer in fi lm preservation through his service on the Board of Directors for The Film Foundation. He was also deeply involved in the DGA's political action committee and in helping steer its legislative efforts. A member since 1979, the entire DGA community mourns Bob's passing and is forever grateful for his efforts in supporting generations of new fi lmmakers. We will miss him dearly." In addition to his DGA Award-winning feature, Ordinary People, and his DGA Award-nominated feature, Quiz Show, Redford's directorial credits also include the features, The Milagro Beanfi eld War (1988), The Horse Whisperer (1998), The Legend of Bagger Vance (2000), The Conspirator (2010) The Company You Keep (2012) and "The Salk Institute" segment of the anthology documentary, Cathedrals of Culture.
