Robert Redford: 50 Years of the Playboy Interview
In mid-1962, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner was given a partial transcript of an interview with Miles Davis. It covered jazz, of course, but it also included Davis’s ruminations on race, politics and culture. Fascinated, Hef sent the writer—future Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Alex Haley, an unknown at the time—back to glean even more opinion and insight from Davis. The resulting exchange, published in the September 1962 issue, became the first official Playboy Interview and kicked off a remarkable run of public inquisition that continues today—and that has featured just about every cultural titan of the last half century.
To celebrate the Interview’s 50th anniversary, the editors of Playboy have culled 50 of its most (in)famous Interviews and will publish them over the course of 50 weekdays (from September 4, 2012 to November 12, 2012) via Amazon’s Kindle Direct platform. Here is the interview with the actor and film director Robert Redford from the November 2007 issue.

I Wish There Was More
I am glad I stumbled upon this interview, but I was left wanting more, much more. The glimpses into the life of this accomplished and interesting man were intriguing, but too few in number and generally left me wishing each answer had a follow up question or two. It is still a good read and a good reminder of some good movies that deserve another look.

Great read!
Totally enjoyed this story! I have always loved Robert Redford for who he is and what he's done in his live. He's a great man that really cares about the people and the planet we live on.
