Fact or Fiction Friday: Robert Redford

January 20, 2012 09:30AM

Sundance Film Festival began this week, and for 10 days more than 50,000 people will gather in Park City, Utah, to screen independent films. It's the largest independent film festival in the United States. Actor Robert Redford was one of the founders of Sundance in 1978. The festival was named after Redford's famous character "the Sundance kid" from the film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Redford, now 75 years old, is not only a respected actor and director, but a noted activist on environmental issues and Native American rights. Can you figure out which of these statements about Robert Redford are facts, and which are fiction?
