Actor Robert Redford died at age 89 at his home Tuesday in the mountains outside Provo, Utah, his publicist said.

Publicity firm Rogers & Cowan PMK CEO Cindi Berger announced his death, saying that Redford died in his sleep but did not provide a specific cause, The New York Times reported.

Redford was known for starring in movies such as “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” in 1969 and “All the President’s Men” in 1976. More recently, he starred in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" in 2014.

He received a best actor Oscar nomination for the 1973 movie "The Sting," and founded the Sundance Institute before launching the Sundance Film Festival in 1984, PEOPLE reported.

Redford also received the Golden Globes' Cecil B. DeMille Award and the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award, in addition to an honorary Oscar in 2002.

In August 2018, after starring in "The Old Man & the Gun," Redford said he would be retiring from acting.

"Never say never, but I pretty well concluded that this would be it for me in terms of acting, and [I'll] move towards retirement after this 'cause I've been doing it since I was 21," Redford said at the time.

However, the next month, at the movie's premiere, Redford said he regretted saying he was retiring, emphasizing that he was not sure what the future held.

"I think it was a mistake to say that I was retiring because you never know. It did feel like it was time, maybe, to concentrate on another category," he said.

Redford returned to the screen for the first time in six years in March 2025, with a cameo in the TV show "Dark Winds."

He co-founded The Redford Center in 2005 with his son James, which is a nonprofit focused on producing films and providing grants to filmmakers who direct movies that discuss climate change and the environment. Redford's son died from bile-duct cancer in his liver at the age of 58 in 2020.

The actor had his son and three other children with his first wife, Lola Van Wagenen. One of those children, their other son, Scott, died just two months after his birth in 1959 from sudden infant death syndrome.

Redford is survived by his second wife, Sibylle Szaggars Redford, and daughters Shauna and Amy, and grandchildren.
