Not only did Robert Redford direct films like “A River Runs Through It,” “Quiz Show,” and “The Horse Whisperer,” he also portrayed F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Jay Gatsby (“The Great Gatsby”), Bernard Malamud’s Roy Hobbs (“The Natural”), and Bob Harras and Paul Neary’s Alexander Pierce (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”). This barely scratches the surface of the wealth of information on the life and times of Robert Redford available in our collections.
