In 2001, Robert Redford described fame as a three-stage process. First, you’re treated like an object. Second, you behave like an object. And finally, you become an object. The final stage, Redford said, he never wanted to reach, calling it the “final death stage.” "I realized that people were looking at you looking at me, not for who I was, how could they because they didn't know who I was. They were looking at me for what I appeared to be or represented on the screen," he told 60 Minutes. “You have friends that were loyal to you for your iconography or loyal to you for your soul. And I never knew which was which.” The actor and Sundance Film Festival founder died in September. #RobertRedford #acting #sundance #fame #celebrity
