Robert Redford's Fitness Legacy Lives On at Universal Studios Hollywood

Robert Redford, the Hollywood legend who passed away yesterday, left an indelible mark on Universal Studios Hollywood during the filming of one of his most beloved films, "Sneakers". The star's physical fitness was evident as he jogged the Starway, a path between the upper and lower lots of the theme park, day after day.

The Starway, consisting of multiple escalators and platforms, has 345 stairs in total. It was during the filming of "Sneakers" that Redford made the Starway his morning jogging route. This anecdote adds to the special nature of the Sneakers filming experience for many fans, including one user who plans to think of Redford jogging the Starway when they visit Universal Studios Hollywood again.

The hillside separating the two halves of Universal Studios Hollywood is unusable for theme park-related activities, making the Starway a unique attraction. In fact, the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift roller coaster is currently being constructed around the Starway, as it's the only attraction that could go there.

"Sneakers" is one of the user's favourite Robert Redford movies and is considered one of the best heist movies ever. The film was entirely shot at Universal Studios Hollywood. John Murdy, lead designer for Universal Studios Hollywood's (USH) Halloween Horror Nights, shared memories of Redford on Twitter, recalling seeing him daily at the theme park while filming one of his films.

The user walked up the Starway using the stairs a couple of years ago and expressed disdain at the idea of going down the Starway again after walking it. However, they might walk the Starway again during a future visit to Universal Studios Hollywood. When they do, they will go downhill instead of up.

Robert Redford's physical fitness was evident as he was able to jog the Starway day after day. This demonstrates not only his dedication to his craft but also his commitment to maintaining his health. Redford made more great films than most in the industry, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations of actors and fans alike.

Universal Studios Hollywood is part of a film studio where Redford worked over the years, and his presence will be deeply missed. However, his memory will live on through the special moments like jogging the Starway, which he created during the filming of "Sneakers".
