Shauna Redford is one of the three children of Hollywood star Robert Redford, who grew up witnessing his incredible acting career. She is aware of her dad's commitment to supporting emerging talents in the industry.

While Shauna has enjoyed notable successes, much like her two siblings, she has chosen to keep her married and parenting life private, especially after facing personal challenges in the past.

Shauna Marries Eric after Surviving past Tragedies

In 1985, Shauna and Eric Matthew Schlosser exchanged vows in a beautiful wedding ceremony at Shauna's parents' home in Provo, Utah. The couple had accomplished a lot in their lives before tying the knot.

Shauna graduated from the University of Colorado (CU), while Eric graduated cum laude from Princeton University and earned a Master of Literature degree from Oriel College at Oxford University.

Their parents were no strangers to success either. Shauna's mother, Lola Van Wagenen, held a doctoral degree in history, while her father, Robert Redford, is a director, producer, and proud CU alumni, besides being an actor.

Eric's mom, Judith Schlosser, is the vice chairman at the Martha Graham Center in New York. His dad, Herbert S. Schlosser, is RCA's executive vice president after serving as NBC's president and chief executive officer.

The wedding happened after a challenging period in Shauna's life. In 1984, she survived a car accident near Salt Lake City. In 1983, she experienced grief after her then-boyfriend, Sid Wells, tragically died in his family condominium in Colorado. This event led her to reportedly quit college at that time.

Shauna Pursues a Creative Path While Relishing Motherhood

Shauna became a painter and a mother of two children—Conor James and Anna Michaela. In 2018, Shauna's dad hoped that she and her siblings, Amy and James, would carry on his Sundance legacy. Her father said:

"I feel I'm at a point where, beyond encouraging them, I can step not completely away, but step aside, so they can take the thing and run with it."

Shauna's father is the founder of the Sundance Institute in Provo, an organization that supports young talent in the fields of directing, writing, acting, and production. Her father also stated that his grandchildren will continue to expand his work.

Meanwhile, Shauna's siblings have carved remarkable creative careers. Amy is a successful filmmaker and was the artist-in-residence at the Utah Film Center, while James is focused on filming documentaries.

Shauna's present whereabouts are little known since she has chosen to lead a life away from the public spotlight.

Shauna Rarely Appears in Public

Shauna's present whereabouts are little known since she has chosen to lead a life away from the public spotlight. Despite her preference for privacy, she consistently supports her father whenever he needs it.

Shauna's notable appearance was in 2017. She and her brother James went to New York City and attended Netflix's afterparty for the film "Our Souls at Night" premiere starring their father.

Besides the siblings' dad, the film featured acclaimed actress Jane Fonda. Notable stars from the movie included Judy Greer, Iain Armitage, and Bruce Dern, who happens to be the father of the renowned actress Laura Dern.
