An actor with a complex presence is blessed, and Robards had this blessing. It was, as the saying goes, a day's work to look into his eyes. They were untrustworthy, those eyes. At their most limpid, they were shadowed with a coming deceit. At their most lost, they held a gleam of possible redemption.

Director Lanny Cotler worked with Robards in the 1998 Family Channel film ``Heartwood'' about the upheaval in northern California's redwood region. He said the actor inspired his young stars, including Hilary Swank, who won an Oscar for best actress the next year in ``Boys Don't Cry.''
