Cowboys Mourn the Loss of Robert Redford - Hollywood Icon and Lifelong Fan Since the Team’s Earliest Days
The Dallas Cowboys are joining the sports world and beyond in mourning the passing of Hollywood icon Robert Redford, who died at age 89 at his home in Sundance, Utah.
Redford’s representative confirmed his death, saying he passed away surrounded by loved ones. “He will be missed greatly. The family requests privacy.”
Though best known as an Oscar-winning actor and director in films like The Sting and All the President’s Men, Redford’s influence stretched far beyond the big screen. For many Cowboys fans, his story was one of resilience, creativity, and dedication to craft — values deeply tied to Dallas’s own identity.
What few may know is that Redford was also a lifelong Cowboys supporter, following the team since its early years. Friends often recalled his love for the game and how Dallas’s grit reminded him of the stories he told on screen.
Players and staff reflected on his passing before practice, noting how his movies often carried themes of perseverance and fighting against the odds. “Legends like him remind us that impact isn’t just about what you do on the field or on screen — it’s about how you inspire people to keep going,” one team spokesperson said.
The Cowboys will honor Redford with a moment of silence before their next home game at AT&T Stadium, ensuring that both the city and the team pay tribute to one of their own.
