Robert Redford and his daughter, Amy, talk about how 'Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid' got made and what happened after

October 17, 2019 by Sean P. Means

This fall marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most enduring Western movies, “Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid.”

It’s historic for several reasons, not the least of which is it made Robert Redford a Hollywood star — and allowed him to have the sort of career where he could set time and money aside to create the Sundance ski resort, Sundance Institute, Sundance Film Festival and everything else with the Sundance name.

I interviewed Redford, now 83, about the making of that movie in his adopted home state of Utah, and I talked to his daughter, Amy — who was born after its release — about how the movie changed everything. Read it here on sltrib.com.
