Robert Redford Trivia

1. Of course I'm not going to give you anything hard and thorny all of a sudden. Let's start this way, he is stinking rich, she is even richer. And it's the roaring 20's to top it off.

Answer: Mia Farrow

Indeeed it's Farrow who starred in "The Great Gatsby" (1974) as Daisy, while Redford played Gatsby. Did you know Mia was pregnant during the work on this movie? Karen Black appeared as well, as Myrtle Wilson.

Great movie. Gould played 'Kid Twist'.

From Quiz Robert Redford's Roles

Answer: War Hunt

Robert Redford had made an earlier uncredited appearance as a basketball player in 'Tall Story' (1960), but these films were four of Redford's first five film credits. After "War Hunt" (1962) there were a lot of television appearances before his next film, "Situation Hopeless ... But Not Serious" (1965). This was quickly followed by "Inside Daisy Clover" (1965), "The Chase" (1966) and "This Property is Condemned" (1966), and the transition to the big screen was accomplished. Tom Skerritt and Sydney Pollack also made their film acting debuts along with Robert Redford in "War Hunt". In 1992, Tom Skerritt was the father of the family in "A River Runs Through It", directed by Redford. He has appeared in many television shows - my personal favorite was "Picket Fences". Sydney Pollack has become better known as a director, including a number of films starring Robert Redford, including "Jeremiah Johnson", "The Way We Were", "Three Days of the Condor" and "Out of Africa".

From Quiz Robert Redford's Roles

Answer: Barefoot in the Park

All four films were based on Neil Simon stage plays. "Barefoot in the Park" was a romantic comedy which starred Redford and Fonda as newlyweds, Corrie and Paul Bratter, struggling to cope with life in a 5th-floor walkup apartment. He was an uptight lawyer, she wanted him to relax and have fun. It was a comedy, so she won. Released in 1967, it also featured Mildred Natwick (who had also appeared in the Broadway production) as Corrie's mother. "The Odd Couple" (1968) starred Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau as two men struggling to adjust to each other's disparate personalities as they shared an apartment. "The Out-of-Towners" (1970) starred Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis as a couple encountering a seemingly unending series of calamities as they arrived in New York City. "The Last of the Red Hot Lovers" featured Alan Arkin and the trio of Sally Kellerman, Paula Prentiss and Renee Taylor in the story of a bachelor trying to find a satisfactory relationship.

Answer: Jane Fonda

And we are talking about Arthur Penn's "The Chase" (1966), in my opinion an extremely undervalued film. Faye Dunaway was considered this time too. She was rejected with the justification that she was not pretty enough to star in films.

Answer: Judd Hirsch

With Mary Tyler Moore. Sutherland was the husband and father.

From Quiz Robert Redford's Roles

Answer: Downhill Racer

"Downhill Racer" followed the progress of a gifted but socially inept skier as he joined the US ski team, and went for gold at the Sarajevo Winter Olympics - anything to get away from home. "Little Fauss and Big Halsey" (1970) was the story of two motorcycle racers, with the tagline 'Little Fauss and Big Halsey are not your father's heroes'. Robert Redford played an unlikable character for a change! "Tell Them Willie Boy is Here" (1969) told the tale of an Indian youth (Robert Blake) who killed his girlfriend's father in self-defense. This resulted in a relentless manhunt, unwillingly led by the local sheriff Christopher 'Coop' Cooper (Robert Redford). The girlfriend was Katherine Ross (despite her blue eyes, and with incredibly poor makeup). "The Chase" (1966) featured Redford as a prison escapee. It also starred Marlon Brando and Jane Fonda.

Answer: Demi Moore

The movie is "Indecent Proposal" (1993). John Gage, played by Redford, offers Demi one million dollars for one night. She agrees, to simplify things, but the affair is not successful as she loves her husband too much. Honestly, who'd choose Harrelson instead of Redford?

Answer: Neil Simon

Redford and Fonda.

From Quiz Robert Redford's Roles

Answer: The Way We Were

"The Way We Were" (1973) depicted the tempestuous relationship between aspiring writer Hubbell (Redford) and the fiesty left-wing political activist Katie (Barbra Streisand). Many remember the film more for its title song than for its searing indictment of the impact of McCarthyism on American society during the 1950s. "The Candidate" (1972) showed the formation of a presidential candidate, Bill McKay. "The Natural" (1984) was the story of a talented but undisciplined baseball player, Roy Hobbs. "Sneakers" (1992) was a film about computer hackers, in which Redford's character was Martin Bishop.

From Quiz Robert Redford's Movie Love Partners

Answer: Debra Winger

The movie is "Legal Eagles" (1986), I must admit I absolutely adore it even though the plot makes hardly any sense at all. Daryl starred too, playing an eccentric artist who was pretty, but probably too eccentric for Redford's Tom Logan.

From Quiz Redford's Movies: Actor and Director

Answer: Barbara Hershey

Close played the 'good', angelic woman.

From Quiz Robert Redford's Movie Love Partners

Answer: Barbra Streisand

The movie's title is, as you may well guess, "The Way We Were" (1973). Allen and Baxter also played with Redford, though in different films, and more political ones, I would say.

Answer: Montana

Good movie.

From Quiz Robert Redford's Movie Love Partners

From Quiz Robert Redford's Roles

Answer: The Horse Whisperer

Robert Redford directed all four of these movies, but only starred in "The Horse Whisperer" (1998). He did provide the narrator's voice (uncredited) in "A River Runs Through It" (1992). He was producer as well as director for "A River Runs Through It", "The Milagro Beanfield War" (1988) and "Quiz Show" (1994).

From Quiz Robert Redford's Movie Love Partners

Answer: Michelle Pfeiffer

They played TV journalists in "Up Close & Personal" (1996), and despite all these "dramatic" aspects mentioned, the film was pretty boring I'm afraid.

From Quiz Redford's Movies: Actor and Director

Answer: Jack Lemmon

The late Jack Lemmon.

From Quiz Robert Redford's Roles

Answer: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

We couldn't avoid it forever! Redford and Paul Newman teamed for the first time in this Western Comedy/Drama, but it nearly didn't happen. Paul Newman's partner was originally planned to be Steve McQueen (at which time the working title was "The Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy"); then Jack Lemmon turned the part down because he was busy filming "The Odd Couple". The result is cinema legend. If you can't recite a myriad of classic lines and re-enact a slew of memorable scenes, you probably aren't reading this note anyway!

From Quiz Robert Redford's Movie Love Partners

Answer: Jane Alexander

The movie was "Brubaker" (1980) and the affair plot was hardly needed. Yet, as I said, it's difficult for the screenwriters to avoid them. Glenn Close appeared as a good female in "The Natural."

From Quiz Redford's Movies: Actor and Director

Answer: Sunday in New York

'Sunday' starred Rod Taylor (before Redford started directing).

From Quiz Robert Redford's Movie Love Partners

Answer: Kim Basinger

In "The Natural" (1984) it was Kim who played femme fatale. As for Susan Sarandon, she played with Redford in "The Great Waldo Pepper."

Holbrook was 'Deep Throat'. Poitier was in 'Sneakers'.
