United Kingdom, Sept. 17 -- Scarlett Johansson has praised "warm and kind" Robert Redford for teaching her "what acting could be".

The Black Widow actress worked with the Hollywood legend - who died on Tuesday (16.09.25) aged 89 - on one of her first movies, 1998's The Horse Whisperer and she's reflected on the impact her director and co-star had on her future career.

She told Entertainment Weekly: "Bob Redford cast me in the Horse Whisperer when I was 11 years old. Every day before each scene, he would take the time to sit with me and walk me through all of the beats that led my character up until that particular point in the story.

"No matter the reality of the days rush, I always felt he had all the time in the world for our work."...
