Robert Redford
Take away the matinee-idol looks (and what might be the best head of hair Hollywood’s ever seen) and Robert Redford would still earn his reputation as the quintessential all-American boy. Not some spit-polish-clean kid, but a true American. His finest work as an actor and director—movies like Three Days of the Condor, All the President’s Men,Quiz Show—has represented an America in turmoil and reflected, in some way, the importance of truth and the disastrous consequences that arise when the truth is suppressed. “Bob is all about freedom,” says Lois Smith, Redford’s publicist and friend for more than thirty-five years. “It’s part of who he is, with the Sundance Institute and his involvement with environmental causes.” Redford’s all-American sensibility also translated to his fashion sense—the tweed blazers, jeans, and mirrored aviators. Says Smith, “We used to joke that Ralph Lauren made an entire career of copying his dress.”

About me
Aviator sunglasses (also known as "Pilot shades") are a style of sunglasses that were developed by Ray-Ban. They are characterized by dark, often reflective lenses having an area two or three times the area of the eye socket, and metal frames with either paddles or wire temples which hook behind the ears. They were given their name due to their oblique teardrop shape, which matched those of the smoked-lens flying goggles which Ray-Ban was then selling to the Army and Navy.
