Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In which movie did Robert (Bob to his friends) play a rodeo cowboy and his co-star, Jane Fonda, portrays a television reporter?

Answer: The Electric Horseman

"The Electric Horseman", released in 1979, was directed by Sydney Pollack, who also charmed us with other Redford greats such as "Out of Africa", "The Way We Were", "Three Days of the Condor" and "Jeremiah Johnson".

Robert played the role of Sonny, retired, five-time, all-around, world rodeo champion, who currently represents a cereal brand, Ranch Breakfast. On a promotional tour while in Las Vegas, Sonny becomes irate when he finds out the 12 million-dollar Electric horse he is to ride is drugged and injured. Acting on behalf of the injured horse, Sonny steals and hides him in the desert with the end goal being to free the horse in a canyon filled with wild horses. And the journey begins. . . . .
2. One of the best bromances on screen is between Robert and Morgan Freeman. In which movie do they star together as ranch-hands/best-friends?

Answer: An Unfinished Life

"An Unfinished Life" is about loss, pain, anger, forgiveness, healing, and love. Redford's character, Einar, lost his son in a car accident and blames his daughter-in-law for the loss of life. She reappears after many years asking to stay on the ranch until she can get her feet back on the ground. Along with her, she brings Einar's granddaughter that he didn't know he had.

Robert and Morgan work a Wyoming ranch and Robert takes care of Morgan who was mauled by a bear the year before (an excellent performance by Mr. Freeman). There is genuine respect between the two men, which reflects compassion and brotherly love.

There are twists and turns making the story line more interesting. I enjoyed this film very much.
3. The film is a love story with a strong political backdrop. Redford's character runs into his ex-wife near a famous NYC hotel as the ending to the movie. Name the movie.

Answer: The Way We Were

Katie, played by Barbra Streisand, is a Marxist Jew with strong anti-war opinions, and Hubbell is a carefree white Anglo-Saxon Protestant with no strong political inclination. After attending the same college, they run into each other after WWII and, long story short, they fall in love. Moving to Hollywood so Hubbel may pursue his screenwriting career, McCarthyism and the Hollywood blacklist strengthens, and Katie's political views put Hubbel's career in peril.

In the final scene where Katie and Hubbell meet in front of the infamous Plaza Hotel, modern NYC street lamps are visible in the background. These lights were only available from the 60s forward and this particular scene was dated in the 50s. This scene is where Streisand delivers the iconic lines, "Your girl is lovely, Hubbell. Why don't you bring her for a drink when you come?"
4. Ike the horse was voiced by Robert Redford. In which children's animated film did Ike appear?

Answer: Charlotte's Web

The film, "Charlotte's Web", was adapted from the children's novel of the same name by American author E. B. White. The classic book was illustrated by Garth Williams and it was published on October 15, 1952, by Harper & Brothers.

Charlotte, a spider who is best friends with Wilbur the pig, spins mind-boggling words in her webs over Wilbur's pen in order to save him from being butchered.
5. What Redford dramedy will find him dancing in the middle of the night to "Singing in the Rain" while eating a quart of ice cream?

Answer: Legal Eagles

This scene shows more of Redford's comedic chops. Daryl Hannah gives a mesmerizing delivery as a performance artist and the movie is worth watching just to see her (although Redford is not bad on the eyes).

Redford, as an assistant district attorney, teams with Debra Winger, a lawyer representing a young lady who wishes to locate her late father's unaccounted for art pieces, especially the painting that was a birthday gift given by her father before he died. There are others who wish to prevent all efforts in locating the artwork due to its value. Dum Dum Da Dum
6. One of the most memorable moments in film history between man and woman is portrayed outdoors by a river with shampoo suds and a pitcher of water. What is the title of the film that has Redford flying his own plane and is the unforgettable love interest?

Answer: Out of Africa

Redford washes Streep's hair while out on a safari excursion. Reciting poetry in his rugged manner while massaging her head has become a classic film scene to both viewers and critics.

A wealthy Danish woman (Meryl Streep) settles into a marriage of convenience with a baron living in British East Africa. With time, feelings develop between the two, only to be annihilated by his womanizing. At the end of WWI and after kicking the Baron out of their home, she focuses her energy on her coffee plantation while her friendship with a big game hunter (Robert Redford) over time turns into true love and respect. "Out of Africa" is multi-faceted and rich on so many levels - a true classic.

"Out of Africa" won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction at The Academy Awards. Meryl Streep, in the leading female role, was nominated for Best Actress, losing the Oscar to Geraldine Page for her performance in "A Trip to Bountiful".
7. Redford absorbed this role and proves his A-List ability as an exertive and clever warden committed to prison reform. Name the movie.

Answer: Brubaker

The new warden, played by Redford, of a small prison farm in Arkansas, attempts to clean it up of corruption. He initially enters the prison posing as an inmate to get the low down as to the depth and range of reforms needed. Brubaker is a fine film.

Morgan Freeman has a role in "Brubaker", as well.
8. Brad Pitt stars along with Redford in the CIA-themed film, "Spy Game". The two gentlemen were united on another film. Name that film.

Answer: A River Runs Through It

Redford directed "A River Runs Through It" while Pitt played Paul Maclean, a rebellious son of an uncompromisingly strict pastor. The story introduces the lives of a family with two sons, one who is the well behaved, achieving son and the other who is frequently plagued by poor decisions.
9. Redford became hard and fast friends with Paul Newman while making "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". They went on to make what 1973 hit film about seeking revenge for a murdered partner?

Answer: The Sting

Redford's character gets in trouble as a grifter, con man. When he and his partner perform a productive con, his partner decides to retire and suggests Redford look up his old friend in Chicago (Newman). Redford's partner is murdered before he can enjoy his retirement and Redford hightails it to Chicago before he too is murdered. Outraged by the murder of their friend, the "big con" is planned by Redford and Newman to take down the crime boss who ordered the hit on their mutual friend. Thus, "The Sting".
10. Other actors have credited Redford as being a believable listener while in character. One of his best listening roles is when his character aided a young woman and her horse in trusting life and each other again after a life changing event. Name the movie.

Answer: The Horse Whisperer

Tom Booker, a horse trainer with a gift of communicating with horses, also befriends a teen girl played by Scarlett Johansson who is emotionally withdrawn due to a horrific accident. You can witness Redford's special technique of listening when the young girl finally opens up to Booker and discusses the catastrophic morning that changed her life forever.

Dianne Wiest gave a wondrous performance as Redford's sister-in-law.
