    "Revealing . . . An unusually well-written movie-star biography . . . What emerges is a comprehensive portrait of a man beset by colliding tides of ambition and hesitation . . . Robert Redford is as fascinating . . . as its subject."             -Scott Eyman, The Wall Street Journal   "Relentless and first-rate . . .

A fascinating study . . . of fame and our uneasy relationship with it."             -Maureen Callahan, New York Post   "Deeply researched . . . Give Callan credit for letting in dissident voices and for allowing Redford's less Galahadian qualities to shine forth: the opportunism and narcissicism, the scattershot management style, the absentee fathering. Best of all, Callan's book begins and ends exactly where it should: with that quadrant of Utah soil christened by its owner 'Sundance.'"             -Louis Bayard, The Washington Post   "Genuinely insightful . . .

Set to become the definitive account, not only of Redford, but also of that era of movie-making that was his hey-day, the era of All The President''s Men and The Candidate ." - Irish Independent "A deft narrative about the business of making mainstream movies from the 1960s to the present, loaded with insider interviews and compelling mini-histories of how Redford movies like 'The Candidate,' 'Out of Africa,' and 'A River Runs Through It' came to be made." - San Francisco Chronicle "This is superior fare, a meticulously researched account of one of Hollywood''s iconic heart-throbs, drawn from Redford''s journals and correspondence and supplemented by copious taped interviews given over a number of years. . . . Compelling." -The Mail on Sunday (UK) "Carefully crafted. . . . Callan is clearly on his game when it comes to dissecting Redford's film career." - Newsday "An elegant, perceptive book, admiring, friendly, but neither hagiographic nor obsequious." - The Guardian (UK) "Prodigiously researched. . . . Offers much to admire. . . . Interviews from primary sources flesh out almost every aspect of his life." - Kansas City Star "Bracing. . . . A fascinating study…of fame and our uneasy relationship with it." - The New York Post "A highly descriptive history. . . . Tells a compelling story with dozens of enigmatic, intriguing characters. . . . An analysis of the way that history, personal or national, shapes us and we, in turn, shape it. . . . An entertaining, enriching reading experience." -PopMatters "Exhaustive. . . . An open, honest appraisal of a true motion picture star. . . . A well-documented, well-written…portrait of a public figure known best from a collection of iconic films and from public endeavors." - The Anniston Star "Michael Feeney Callan spent 14 years researching, interviewing and traipsing in the 74-year-old star's footsteps and has provided great insights into a man who shied from public scrutiny throughout a luminous career." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Too seldom is the life of an actor of Robert Redford''s stature given such a finely detailed and well-written exploration." - Associated Press "An elegant life of Robert Redford gets to the heart of an enigmatic, Gatsbyesque charmer who dreamed of freedom, honesty and social fulfillment. Feeney Callan has written an elegant, perceptive book, admiring, friendly. . . . He gives us Redford warts and all." - The Observer (London)
    Synopsis
    Robert Redford is among the most widely admired Hollywood stars of his generation, renowned for his iconic roles as the Sundance Kid, Bob Woodward and Jay Gatsby, and celebrated for his fierce commitment to environmental causes, independent filmmaking, and his Sundance Film Festival. Yet only now, in this revelatory biography written in close collaboration with the extraordinary actor and director himself, do we see the complex man beneath the Hollywood fa ade., A revelatory biography of Robert Redford, written in close collaboration with the extraordinary actor and director himself, revealing the complex man beneath the Hollywood façade. "As incisive a biography of Redford as there is ever likely to be." -- The New York Times Among the most widely admired Hollywood stars of his generation, Redford has appeared onstage and on-screen, in front of and behind the camera, earning Academy, Golden Globe, and a multitude of other awards and nominations for acting, directing, and producing, and for his contributions to the arts. His Sundance Film Festival transformed the world of filmmaking; his films defined a generation. America has come to know him as the Sundance Kid, Bob Woodward, Johnny Hooker, Jay Gatsby, and Roy Hobbs. From Redford's personal papers--journals, script notes, correspondence--and hundreds of hours of taped interviews, Michael Feeney Callan brings the legendary star into focus. Here is his scattered family background and restless childhood, his rocky start in acting, the death of his son, his star-making relationship with director Sydney Pollack, the creation of Sundance, his political activism, his artistic successes and failures, his friendships and romances. This is a candid, surprising portrait of a man whose iconic roles on-screen (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the President's Men, The Natural) and directorial brilliance (Ordinary People, Quiz Show) have both defined and obscured one of the most celebrated, and, until now, least understood, public figures of our time.
