Jennifer Lopez recently shared a memory on Instagram about working with the legendary actor Robert Redford, who passed away on Tuesday at 89 years old.
The 56-year-old actor shared three photos from the 2005 film, An Unfinished Life, which they appeared in alongside another star.
The actress was also pictured with her fellow cast member, Morgan Freeman, sitting outside a barn on set.
And there was a note as well from JLo as she called Redford ‘kind and wise.’
I was so saddened to learn of Robert Redford’s death. It was a true privilege to work with him on ‘An Unfinished Life.’ He was a kind, wise, and incredibly talented artist who had a lasting impact on everyone he knew, and his influence will be felt for many years to come.
Lopez left a white heart emoji as well.
An Unfinished Life was set in the country.
I’m really excited about this movie! It centers around Einar, played by Robert Redford, a rancher who’s working hard to stay sober. He’s got a great friend, Mitch, portrayed by Morgan Freeman, and their quiet life is turned upside down when Einar’s daughter-in-law, Jean, and his granddaughter, Griff, unexpectedly come to stay with him. I think it’s going to be a really touching story.
Einar blames Jean for his son’s death and initially resents her. However, when he discovers she’s escaping an abusive situation, he allows her to stay on his farm. As they spend time together, they begin to connect and work towards healing from their past traumas.
Scarlett Johansson recently shared her admiration for Robert Redford, describing him as ‘warm and kind’ and crediting him with showing her the true potential of acting.
Scarlett Johansson, known for her role as Black Widow, fondly remembers working with the late Robert Redford – who passed away Tuesday at 89 – early in her career. They collaborated on the 1998 film *The Horse Whisperer*, and Johansson has spoken about how much Redford influenced her career.
As a lifelong observer of how people connect and create, I’ve always been fascinated by great mentorship. One of my favorite examples is when I was just eleven years old and cast in ‘The Horse Whisperer’ by Bob Redford. He didn’t just direct me; every single day, before we filmed a scene, he’d patiently walk me through my character’s entire journey up to that moment. It wasn’t about lines; it was about understanding *why* my character was feeling and doing what she was. It was such a beautiful way to build a performance from the inside out, and it really taught me the power of thoughtful preparation.
Even when things were hectic, he always seemed to have plenty of time and patience for our projects.
Scarlett commended the experienced filmmaker for fostering a relaxed and supportive atmosphere on set, allowing actors the freedom to explore their roles and find new nuances in their performances.
Describing Robert as patient, warm, and kind, she explained that he showed her the true potential of acting. His generosity and patience motivated her to explore acting as a career.
Bob’s kindness and passion for film led him to found Sundance, a unique community where filmmakers can learn, inspire, and discover new talent.
The actress, age 40, says she will always be thankful for the impact the star of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had on both her life and her work.
She finished by thanking Bob for believing in her and for his kind support and mentorship. He motivated countless artists-herself among them-to be more adventurous, stay focused, and challenge themselves creatively, and she expressed eternal gratitude for his influence.
Jane Fonda, a longtime friend and co-star of Robert Redford in films like *The Chase*, *Barefoot in the Park*, *The Electric Horseman*, and *Our Souls at Night*, shared that she hadn’t been able to stop crying after learning about his passing.
The 87-year-old actor released a statement saying he was deeply saddened to learn of Bob’s passing, explaining it was a difficult moment when he first heard the news.
I’m heartbroken and can’t stop crying. He was a wonderful person who meant so much to me, and he represented the best of America – values we need to continue striving for.
Barbra Streisand fondly remembered her ‘The Way We Were’ co-star, calling him one of the greatest actors of all time. She also shared how much joy she experienced working with him on the 1973 film.
She shared on Instagram that working on ‘The Way We Were’ was a consistently exciting, challenging, and joyful experience.
He and I were complete opposites – he grew up around horses, and I was actually allergic! Still, we were both curious and kept trying to learn about each other, much like the people in that film.
‘Bob was charismatic, intelligent, intense, always interesting — and one of the finest actors ever.
I remember the last time I saw him – we had lunch together and talked about art. We even agreed to share our earliest drawings with each other.
‘He was one of a kind and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him.’
