Robert Redford’s youngest daughter, Amy Redford, paid moving tribute to her late father ahead of the upcoming Sundance Film Festival.

She reflected on his legacy as both a filmmaker and a parent.

Speaking on the Today show, Amy described the Oscar-winning actor and director as “playful, curious, and kind.”

He emphasized how he instilled in his children a passion for pursuing dreams and a deep respect for stewardship of the natural world.

“I think what he taught us to do is really find the thing that we’re most passionate about and the things that we think might be able to change the world,” Amy shared.

“The best thing I think he did for my family was raise us between New York City and the mountains of Sundance – because we got to live between the city and in natural law – and taught us a very strong value of stewardship. That’s something that I think all of us bring to the table to this day, and I’m very proud of that,” she continued.

Redford passed away from natural causes in September 2025 at age 89.

He left behind four children: Scott (who died in infancy), Shauna, James (who passed in 2020), and Amy.

Amy highlighted her father’s determination in founding the Sundance Film Festival in 1978, despite industry skepticism.

His vision was to create a platform for untold stories and emerging filmmakers.

It is a mission that continues to shape Hollywood today.

“If you tell him not to do it, that just means it hasn’t been done yet,” Amy recalled.

The festival has since launched the careers of directors like Ryan Coogler and Chloé Zhao.

Following in her father’s footsteps, Amy has built a career in filmmaking, directing Roost (2022) and producing The Lincoln Project. 

She credited her upbringing around her father’s creative process for inspiring her own journey.

Prince Harry arrived at the Royal Courts of Justice on Tuesday morning with a brief smile breaking through the tension, as supporters lining the pavement called out messages of affection just after 10am.

Well-wishers cheered him on, with one shouting, “Harry, I love you!” and another calling out, “Good luck, Prince!”

The Duke of Sussex is not due to take the witness stand today. Instead, he returned to court to hear his legal team continue setting out the case, with his barrister, David Sherborne, resuming opening arguments from the previous day.

Addressing the court, Sherborne turned his focus to Harry’s claim, arguing that few figures generated more fascination for the tabloid press than the younger son of the King. 

According to him, stories about Prince Harry’s private world were treated as commercial gold, relentlessly pursued because they boosted sales.

He told the judge that this obsession went beyond headlines, alleging that his movements were closely followed, a practice he warned carried serious risks given the Duke’s security concerns. 

The Duke is one of seven high-profile claimants taking part in the case, joined by Sir Elton John, David Furnish, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Sadie Frost, Elizabeth Hurley and former MP Sir Simon Hughes.
