The late, great Robert Redford died after carrying an ‘intense sadness’ over his son’s death, it has been revealed.
According to his former neighbours in the town of Tiburon, California, Redford, who died at his home in Sundance, Utah, aged 89 on Tuesday, was struggling with the death of his beloved son, James Redford, in his final years.
