Redford talked a good line, but never produced anything.
Robert Redford did one really constructive thing at 40th & Walnut: he looked across the street from the theater site and said, "Is that a Carnagie library?" Who would have guessed that he was a preservationist? It turned out that he knew about the philanthropist's libraries and really liked them. It slowed the attempts of the powers-that-were to get rid of the library - wouldn't want to offend Robert Redford while he was doing his project across the street - and helped the Friends of Walnut West eventually prevail in their attempts to restore, rather than relocate, the library.
