He is a 1954 graduate of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.classmates.com\/places\/school\/Van-Nuys-High-School\/3744?s=80640\">Van Nuys High School<\/a>, in Van Nuys, CA, where he was a member of the tennis team. Redford started his acting career on Broadway in 1959 and began landing guest appearances on television the following year, on shows that included&nbsp;<em>The Untouchables<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Perry Mason<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>The Twilight Zone<\/em>. His first film appearance, a small uncredited role in&nbsp;<em>Tall Story<\/em>, was also in 1960. Redford\u2019s biggest Broadway success, 1963\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Barefoot in the Park<\/em>, launched one of his earliest starring movie roles when the play was adapted for the big screen a few years later. Then in 1969, he became a marquee name when he co-starred with&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.classmates.com\/blog\/celebrity\/paul-newman\/?s=80640\">Paul Newman<\/a>&nbsp; in&nbsp;<em>Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid<\/em>. Redford teamed up with Newman again in 1973 in&nbsp;<em>The Sting<\/em>, which became arguably the biggest hit of his career. Also interested in working behind the camera, he directed his first film,&nbsp;<em>Ordinary People<\/em>, in 1980, receiving critical acclaim and a Best Director Oscar. Throughout his career, Redford has alternated between acting, directing, and producing. Other notable films in which he has acted include&nbsp;<em>The Way We Were<\/em>&nbsp;(1973),&nbsp;<em>All the President\u2019s Men<\/em>&nbsp;(1976),&nbsp;<em>The Natural<\/em>&nbsp;(1984),&nbsp;<em>Out of Africa<\/em>&nbsp;(1985),&nbsp;<em>Indecent Proposal<\/em>&nbsp;(1993), and&nbsp;<em>All Is Lost<\/em>&nbsp;(2013). Other directed films include&nbsp;<em>A River Runs Through It<\/em>&nbsp;(1992) and&nbsp;<em>The Legend of Bagger Vance<\/em>&nbsp;(2000). Redford, a champion of independent filmmaking, founded the Sundance Institute in 1981. The organization\u2019s Sundance Film Festival has become the largest independent film festival in the United States.
