We are deeply saddened by the loss of legendary actor, director and producer, Robert Redford. Redford was a visionary powerhouse who directed two films in Savannah: "The Legend of Bagger Vance" (2000), produced by 20th Century Studios, and "The Conspirator" (2010), produced by The American Film Company. His legacy will live on through his talent and passion with his filmography.

Here are some behind-the-scenes photos of Redford's time in Savannah, shooting both films a decade apart. These photos are courtesy of 20th Century Fox for "The Legend of Bagger Vance" and Andy Young for "The Conspirator."
