Robert Redford

The actor, director, and producer, Robert Redford got a funny, yet inspiring story to tell. During his collegiate days, he was pursuing a degree at the University of Colorado. From the looks of things, he was cruising in the right direction. In fact, he saved a lot of cash by not relying on his student loans since he acquired a scholarship from his university. However, things went south quickly when he found himself in a trap hole filled with alcohol, which cost him his scholarship, and eventually, his college studies.

He then decided to go to New York City and tried establishing a career in show business by taking classes and perfecting his skills. In the late ‘50s, he starred on Broadway, which helped him launch his acting career. It was in the ‘60s where he starred in movies, like Situation Hopeless…But Not Serious and War Hunt. He became a well-established actor since then. Currently, he is 84 years old and has accomplished a lot in life.
