Robert Redford Biography

Born on August 18, 1936, in Santa Monica, California, Charles Robert Redford Jr. was the son of Martha and Charles Robert Redford Sr., an accountant for Standard Oil. Growing up, he had a rebellious streak, stealing hubcaps in high school and losing his college baseball scholarship at the University of Colorado due to excessive drinking. Despite these early missteps, Redford showed a flair for caricature art, which spurred him to pursue studies in art seriously. After a year of traveling around Europe—living a bohemian life of hitchhiking, staying in youth hostels, and exploring his artistic ambitions—Redford eventually realized that his work was not as original or accomplished as he had hoped. This led him to return to New York, where he enrolled in the Pratt Institute of Art to study theatrical design. He also took acting classes at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
