Robert Redford is Retiring From Acting!!

Well, this is news that makes me a little bit sad.  Yesterday Robert Redford announced to Entertainment Weekly magazine that he is indeed retiring from acting.   His latest movie, that will be out later this year, called The Old Man and the Gun will be the last time we see Robert on screen.  In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said "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. I thought, Well, that’s enough. And why not go out with something that’s very upbeat and positive?”   I can remember first seeing  Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.  Not when it first came out, I was a little young then, but later in life on TV and just thinking he was the best.  I've enjoyed so many of his movies and he has certainly brought a lot of joy and wonderful entertainment to all of us.   We wish him the best in his retirement.  He does deserve it.  Afterall, he's been acting for 60 years!   But he certainly will be missed!
