The world mourned when screen legend Robert Redford passed away at 89, surrounded by loved ones. Following his death, his grandchildren shared never-before-seen photos, offering a deeply personal glimpse into his life as a devoted family man. Conor Schlosser posted heartfelt images of himself with Robert, including childhood memories and touching recent moments, writing, “He was larger than life to the world, but to his family, he was simply that… family.” Lena and Dylan Redford also shared intimate tributes, highlighting their deep love for their grandfather.
Lena’s photos reflected her bond with Robert, including childhood horseback rides and warm family celebrations. Dylan posted a picture of himself with Robert, writing, “He was the best grampa a grandson could ask for.” These tributes revealed Robert’s private side, showing how he balanced being a Hollywood icon with being “Bo-Pa” or “Ba-Poo” to his grandchildren — playful nicknames that reflected his deep affection for them.
Robert’s legacy extended beyond his legendary acting career. He founded the Sundance Film Festival to support young filmmakers and even lent his voice to a quirky Sundance film directed by Dylan, showing his continued support for the next generation. The family also tackled challenges together, such as Dylan’s dyslexia, which was featured in the powerful documentary The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia, directed by Robert’s late son, James Redford.
In their final tributes, Robert’s grandchildren captured the essence of a man who was both a cinematic legend and a devoted grandfather. While the world remembers him for his films and activism, his family will remember him most for his love, humor, and unwavering support — a legacy that will live on through them and the countless lives he touched.
