Hollywood is mourning the loss of one of its greatest legends, Robert Redford, who passed away at 89 in his Utah home.
But for of actress, the grief cuts even deeper.
Robert Redford wasn’t just a movie star — he was the definition of one. With his golden hair, piercing blue eyes, and effortless charm, he turned heads everywhere he went. People didn’t just admire him, they fell in love with him.
From the moment he stepped into Hollywood, it was clear he had something special. Secretaries reportedly rushed out of their offices just to catch a glimpse of him walking by. Fans adored him, and directors knew instantly he had the kind of screen presence that couldn’t be taught.
Another person who fell for the charismatic actor was Jane Fonda.
The Grace and Frankie star broke down as she shared her heartbreak over the man who had captured her heart on screen — and in many ways, off screen too.
Fell madly in love with him
“It hit me hard this morning when I read that Bob was gone. I can’t stop crying. He meant a lot to me and was a beautiful person in every way. He stood for an America we have to keep fighting for,” Fonda said in a statement through her rep.
Their cinematic partnership stretched over five decades — from Tall Story and Barefoot in the Park to Our Souls at Night, their final film together.
And with each role, their bond only seemed to grow stronger.
On Instagram, Fonda shared a photo from the set of Our Souls at Night alongside Redford and actor Iain Armitage, reflecting on years of friendship, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
