American actor and businessman, Robert Redford announced his candidacy for the 1988 presidential election, which was reported in a number of newspapers at some point after November 1985.
After Hector Godrey's two-column story was scrapped due to its anti-Russian sentiment, Seymour David suggested that they run the story about Redford for The New Frontiersman. However, Godfrey dismissed this notion, declaring that he would not dignify the news as credible and sarcastically remarked about anybody wanting "a cowboy actor in the White House."
