Robert Redford’s Final Goodbye: The Place He Loved Most

Legendary actor Robert Redford passed away on Sept.

16, 2025, at age 89 — in his beloved home in Sundance, Utah.

He escaped to Utah in 1961 for peace, privacy, and purpose.

That land sparked a 60-year love story between Redford and Utah.

By 1991, it was home to America’s biggest indie film festival.

In Utah, he said, people "don’t pretend to be something they’re not."

Utah became a place of healing and refuge for their family.

“Develop a little, preserve a lot,” he said of his land.

German artist Sibylle Szaggars met Redford in 1996 — at his Sundance resort.

In 2021, Redford sold the ranch to focus on expanding his Provo Canyon property with his family.

Redford's grandchildren honored his legacy with unseen family moments and heartfelt tributes.
