Robert Redford's Weekly Visits to the Santa Monica Public Library



Book review: 'Robert Redford: The Biography' by Michael Feeney Callan. (Los Angeles Times, 5/15/2011)

Excerpt:    From his difficult birth as a blue baby in a Santa Monica hospital until he left for the University of Colorado on a baseball scholarship, Redford lived most of his life in Southern California. His father took the family on weekly outings to the Santa Monica Public Library, where young "Charlie" devoured Greek mythology. His mother squired her son to the Aero for an arguably formative 23 viewings of "Bambi," until John Garfield displaced Thumper in his affections.
