One of Robert Redford’s most indelible on-screen roles was Bob Woodward, the hungry young Washington Post reporter in pursuit of one of the biggest stories of his generation: the Watergate scandal that consumed the administration of President Richard M. Nixon.
In Mr. Redford’s hands, Mr. Woodward became known to generations of movie fans in the 1976 film “All the President’s Men” as a swashbuckling truth teller, immortalizing an era when the public had a greater affinity for the news business.
Mr. Redford, 89, died Tuesday morning at his home in Utah. In a statement to The New York Times, Mr. Woodward remembered Mr. Redford as “genuine, a noble and principled force for good who fought successfully to find and communicate the truth.”
