      Great pictures, 19. Look at that second shot: *That's a picture of two guys living life to the fullest.

      Robert and Paul were great actors. Really enjoyed their work.

          One of his first scenes. A young Robert in THE TWILIGHT ZONE. So young that he's almost un-recognizable:

            He directed ORDINARY PEOPLE and won an Oscar for it. It was a great film:
            *Noteworthy for not having a lot of action shots.
            ...It was more about character portrayal.
            ...He wanted Timothy Hutton to be edgy on-screen. So, he told the other actors to not talk to Tim off-set.
            ...Robert advised Judd Hirsch (the shrink) to be the only one to talk to Tim off-set. It worked. Tim connected with Judd on-screen...and was mostly distant to the other characters.

              Who can forget Roy Hobbs?



              Redford was only three years younger than Brimley. But he looked at least 20 years younger.

                Nice to see everyone loving on The Sting, even over Butch and Sundance.

                The theme music makes memories stream back every time.

                  *The Sting was a great movie. Even if the scheme was a little far-fetched.
                  ...Don't think I've watched Butch and Sundance. But now, I have to.

                    Brad Pitt reminds me so much of Redford. RIP
