Robert Redford died Sept. 16 at the age of 89. He formally retired from screen acting several years earlier, after headlining David Lowery’s 2018 caper “The Old Man & the Gun.” In 2019, he stepped down as the public face of the Sundance Institute. But Redford continued to serve as a producer on various TV projects in his final years, including an executive producer credit on the AMC thriller “ Dark Winds .” When the series aired its Season 3 premiere in March, audiences were treated to a cameo from the star, who shared a scene with fellow executive producer George R.R. Martin and series star Zahn McClarnon. The role would mark Redford’s final screen performance.
