[edit] Sources

Can someone source this bit: "Supposedly, Barbara Bush told her husband George Bush that he should choose Dan Quayle as a running mate because he looked like Redford. Redford then began some speeches by saying, "Hello. I'm Dan Quayle." However, Redford resented the equation as he and the former Vice President are on the opposite sides of the political spectrum."?

[edit] Written like a review

This article is not encyclopedic enough. Too many adjectives are used and it reads like a biography you'd read on a personal website. "He made a fine romantic lead..." "a glowing Barbra Streisand" - User:24.153.178.198 04:06, 20 April 2007

Agreed, it needs pretty serious revision Bluetubist 03:28, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

"His good looks had weathered after years in the Utah sun and wind, but with kind lenses he could still romance younger actresses." This article is unintentionally funny. Someone re-write this now. Stan weller 03:36, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I feel like I've made a huge change in this article already, but there's a lot of work still to do. I'll get back on it just as soon as I can. Unschool (talk) 06:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
