Robert RedfordRobert Redford, the legendary leading man with boyish good looks and charm who used his star power to advocate for independent filmmaking, environmentalism and LGBTQ rights, has died at age 89.

Redford died Tuesday, Sept. 16, at his home at Sundance in the mountains of Utah, "the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved. He will be missed greatly," his rep Cindi Berger told USA TODAY in a statement. "The family requests privacy."

During an acting career lasting more than 60 years, Redford became a Hollywood icon with an uncanny knack for finding the perfect scene partner. He saddled up with Paul Newman in the 1969 Western buddy adventure "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and 1973 hit con-man caper "The Sting" (which snagged Redford a best actor Oscar nomination), starred with Barbra Streisand in the 1973 romance "The Way We Were," and teamed with Dustin Hoffman for 1976's journalism thriller "All the President's Men."
