He will be remembered for such films as Butch cassidy and the sundance kid and for his best actor oscar for the Color of money in 1987.

In May 2007, he said he was giving up acting because he could no longer perform to the best of his ability.

Oh that is so sad. I loved his films, especially his film relationship with Robert Redford. He was such a handsome man and appeared to be very 'normal' for such a big star
