From The Hollywood Reporter:
(Stephen Galloway)
Robert Redford, the Hollywood golden boy and Sundance Film Festival founder who starred in such movies as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", "The Way We Were" and "All the President’s Men" — and who won an Academy Award for directing "Ordinary People" — died Tuesday September 16. He was 89.
Redford died in his sleep at his home outside Provo, Utah, his longtime publicist, Cindi Berger, confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
The actor-producer-director, a four-time Academy Award nominee and honorary Oscar recipient, was one of the few truly iconic screen figures of the past half-century, the avatar of a certain kind of all-American ideal who nonetheless took a dyspeptic view of his country in several notable dramas including "Downhill Racer" (1969), "The Candidate" (1972), "Three Days of the Condor" (1975), and "All the President’s Men" (1976).
He made his onscreen debut in a 1960 episode of ABC’s ‘Maverick’. Three years later, he earned an Emmy nomination for his work on an installment of the ABC anthology series ‘Alcoa Premiere’.
His final onscreen appearance came this year in an uncredited cameo on the AMC series ‘Dark Winds’, on which he was an executive producer.
He is survived by his daughters, Shauna and Amy; his second wife, Sibylle Szaggars, whom he married in 2009; and seven grandchildren.
O’Bservation:
Other TV series in which he appeared were ‘Perry Mason’, ‘Dr. Kildare’, ‘Naked City’, ‘Route 66’, ‘The Virginian’, ‘The Defenders’, ‘The Untouchables’, ‘Alfred Hitchcock Presents’, and perhaps the one guest star role for which he’ll be best remembered – in ‘The Twilight Zone’.
To qualify for membership in the Television Crossover Hall of Fame, one must have made appearances in three separate productions. This could be in series, TV movies, even commercials and cartoons and sketch comedy (although those last two are relegated to other dimensions in the TV Multiverse.)
With technical loopholes, Redford qualified to be inducted as a member of the League of Themselves. But a few years ago, I loosened the rules about the qualifications so that references would also count. If a televersion of a real person gets mentioned, that signals that they have to exist on Earth Prime-Time.
And boy howdy! There were plenty for him!
Let’s see what we have for actual appearances and I begin with one of the technicalities….
THE OFFER
A SEAT AT THE TABLE (2022)
Al Ruddy produces a 1970 movie about dirt bikers – “Little Fauss and Big Halsey”. Big Halsey is played by Robert Redford who is portrayed by Billy Magnussen.
O’Bservation:
I’m not a fan of recastaways, but I make allowances for the aging process. So since there was no way for Redford himself to play himself in that scene for several reasons, Magnussen was cast in the role of the younger Redford.
‘The Offer’ is not a Zonk as far as “The Godfather” was concerned because it’s about the making of a movie which is acknowledged as a movie in so many TV shows. (Note: The kickoff to the mini-series is about Ruddy getting his start with ‘Hogan’s Heroes.’ Now THAT would be a Zonk. A splainin could be offered, but that’s not the focus today.)
So if the making of "The Godfather" is part of Toobworld", so is this representation of Redford.
LAURA LANSING SLEPT HERE (1988)
A picture of Robert Redford is in Laura Lansing's living room. We don’t find out how, but apparently Redford was a friend of the famous novelist. It could be that Redford’s televersion appeared in a movie adaptation of one of her books.
TANNER ON TANNER
DINNER AT ELAINE’S (2004)
Redford showed up at a rough cut film festival and castigated Alex for showing weakness by crying yet also gave her supportive suggestions as to the direction her film should take.
THE AWFUL TRUTH (2004)
Stuart’s footage of Redford from that rough cut showing was being reviewed by Alex and her team.
This will be the next technicality:
DARK WINDS
YE'IITSOH (2025)
A cameo appearance by Executive Producers George R.R. Martin and Robert Redford, Joe Leaphorn oversees chess players in the detention holding cell. Redford mentioned George by name. Redford tells Martin, "The whole world is waiting! Make your move!" (This is an inside joke, referencing the wide public anticipation of Martin's next literary release.
O’Bservation:
Redford and Martin are each listed as only “Chess Player.” But I don’t see why they couldn’t be playing themselves. I don’t know why they were in the area; I don’t know why they got arrested. I’ll leave that to the fanfic community.
LARRY KING LIVE
Redford avoided the talk show circuit. He didn’t like the idea of selling himself and he believed his work should stand on its own. But he did appear on Larry King’s CNN show and Larry is a member of the TVXOHOF.
THREE'S COMPANY
HAIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW (1983)
Jack:
Do you have anything that would, uh, be attractive to women?
Layne:
Well, Robert Redford, but he doesn't come in 'til Thursday.
O’Bservation:
It is just a reference, but it could be that the televersion of Redford does go to that shop.
This is a similar situation:
HOT IN CLEVELAND
I LOVE LUCCI PART ONE (2011)
Elke:
But this is my first trip to L.A., and this is Robert Redford's favorite restaurant.
Waiter:
And you want him to sign your autograph book?
Elke:
That would be my second choice.
I LOVE LUCCI PART TWO (2011)
Elke drags Melanie from one bad scene to another in her quest for Robert Redford.
Now let’s look at some other references. These are not presented in chronological order. Some of them will be just as screencaps. And I’ll start with the one which I consider to be the most famous Robert Redford reference of all….

Good little actor. Good...
Gordy:

Fine. See? Even the name... He just sounds like a prima donna.
Colette:
It might be worth it to wake up to that face.
Dean:
Aw. "Take me to go see 'Barefoot in the Park'," she says. "It'll be romantic."
Dean:
I mean, I'm still not half as handsome as... Is it Bedford?
Colette:
It's Redford.

WATCHMEN
LITTLE FEAR OF LIGHTNING (2019)
Adrian Veidt (recording):
Hello, Robert.
Adrian Veidt here.
Assuming my instructions have been followed to the letter, today is January 21st, 1993, and you were just inaugurated. Allow me to be amongst the very first to say: Congratulations, President Redford.
Sir, I am recording this message on November 1st, 1985, seven years in your past. How could I predict that you
would be elected president with such incredible accuracy?
Because I didn't predict it. I planned it.
WATCHMEN
THIS EXTRAORDINARY BEING (2019)
Laurie Blake:
It was supposed to be for older folks, you know, dementia treatment, but that limited the market because, you know,
who wants to be in the present when you can live in the past? Well, you know the rest. People got hooked, dependency, ODs. So, Redford and the FDA outlawed it, and the company that made it had to stop.
WATCHMEN
SEE HOW THEY FLY (2019)
Adrian Veidt:
Redford won't even return my calls. He said he would've won even without my help. As if some cowboy actor...
could attain the presidency!
*
Veidt:
Good God! Robert Redford is still president?
*
Wade Tillman:
This is your confession, explaining to Redford what you did and how you did it.
Veidt:
So, I suppose the FBI is gonna arrest the President, too?
Laurie Blake:
Sure. Why not?
Veidt:
Because the world... will end.
Well, it may not end – hopefully! – but the world is a sadder place without Redford in it. And that means far more than just his career in show business.
Welcome to the Hall, Sir.
