Robert Redford<\/strong><\/a> left a lasting impression on Hollywood. From his 1970s rise to fame to his hard work as a climate activist and acclaimed filmmaker<\/a>, there\u2019s no question that the late 89-year-old<\/a> will be missed. Fans and peers of Redford\u2019s alike are mourning his death<\/a> and praising him for his personality and his contributions to film. His former co-star Jane Fonda<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 who worked with Redford in Barefoot in the Park, The Electric Horsemen<\/em> and Our Souls at Night<\/em> \u2014 was one of the first to pay their respects to the Academy Award winner.<\/p>\n

Below, read the tributes from some of Redford\u2019s industry colleagues.<\/p>\n

Jane Fonda<\/h2>\n

\u201cIt hit me hard this morning when I read that Bob was gone. I can\u2019t stop crying,\u201d Jane told USA Today.<\/em> \u201cHe meant a lot to me and was a beautiful person in every way. He stood for an America we have to keep fighting for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barbra Streisand<\/h2>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cEvery day on the set of The Way We Were<\/em> was exciting, intense and pure joy,\u201d Barbra wrote on Instagram<\/a> alongside a photo of her and Redford. \u201cWe were such opposites: he was from the world of horses; I was allergic to them! Yet, we kept trying to find out more about each other, just like the characters in the movie. Bob was charismatic, intelligent, intense, always interesting\u2014 and one of the finest actors ever. The last time I saw him, when he came to lunch, we discussed art and decided to send each other our first drawings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meryl Streep<\/h2>\n

Meryl kept her statement short and sweet:\u00a0\u201cOne of the lions has passed. Rest in peace my lovely friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Octavia Spencer<\/h2>\n

Octavia penned a lengthy Instagram<\/a> post in honor of Redford. She began by writing, \u201cToday we lost a legend. #RobertRedford wasn\u2019t just a screen idol. He was a storyteller, a visionary, and someone I admired deeply, as so many of us did. I\u2019m grateful I had the chance to witness his magic firsthand. I advised at the @sundanceorg Institute for a week and watched how HE was such an important voice in shaping the perspectives of countless emerging filmmakers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAfter that week, I, the Oscar-winning professional, found myself begging to pay to enter their 12-week intensive because the experience was that transformative,\u201d the actress continued. \u201cOf course, they declined. But Mr. Redford was moved that I valued it so highly. That week inspired me to become a donor, and I\u2019ve carried the impact with me ever since. Through Sundance, he leveled the playing field for new voices to be heard. Our industry is forever changed because of him and because of the filmmakers Sundance nurtured. Visionaries like Ryan Coogler, Cary Fukunaga, Reinaldo Marcus Green, Radha Blank and so many more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Octavia also pointed to some of Redford\u2019s biggest cinematic hits. \u201cFrom Butch Cassidy<\/em> to Sundance, he blended art and activism in ways few have,\u201d she added. \u201cHis quiet strength will live in every frame he directed, every festival he championed and every artist he encouraged. Rest in peace, Mr. Redford. Your story changed us and your legacy will continue to inspire.\u201d<\/p>\n
