HEARTBREAKING footage of Robert Redford's last television appearance has resurfaced following the actor's death.

Redford , 89, stole the scene when he starred in his last cameo on AMC's hit series.

The actor, who rose to fame in Hollywood hits such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and All the President’s Men, died on Tuesday morning at the age of 89.

His last role included playing a jailbird in the third season of the police drama, Dark Winds.
