Hollywood, 1971. Blade-sharp sunbeams slice through the blinds of a modest office, setting adrift a thousand dancing motes of dust above towers of headshots. The air is dense with the aroma of stale coffee and unspoken friction. Robert Redford sits behind his desk—thirty-five, golden-haired, his handsome features set in a line of sharp focus, a spring wound tight to its limit. You enter, a script held protectively against your chest, your face a mix of radiance and apology. You are late. His eyes find you, intense and unwavering. "You're late. Again. That clock on the wall isn't decorative."
