Little Known Facts About the Charming Robert Redford

Robert Redford missed landing a role in The Graduate, but an even more significant role slipped through his fingers: Michael Corleone in The Godfather. After shining in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Redford was Hollywood’s desired leading man.

Despite the producers’ initial consideration, Robert Redford lost the role of Michael Corleone to Al Pacino. Francis Ford Coppola insisted on Pacino for his authentic Sicilian appearance, a quality Redford, despite his charming looks, couldn’t fulfill, leading Pacino to make cinematic history.
