    1. Robert Duvall passed peacefully in his home, according to his wife, Luciana Pedraza. As always, there just aren’t enough photos to do his amazing career justice. Deepest condolences to his family and friends.

    2. Secondhand Lions is my favorite of his career off the top of my head. Glad to hear his passing wasn’t something dramatic.

    3. Damn. A titan has left the stage. His performance in Death of a Salesman was legendary. An era ends.

    4. Shocking that people on here love him , well known republican fyi …. I figured he was the devil to 90% on here, weird

    5. As someone who doesn’t comment very often or cares about these posts now I feel as if i need to pay my respects since Mr Duvall is a mere myth himself alongside the other Myths of Cinema.Rest In Eternal Peace !!!!!!!!

      I think that picture of him on the Godfather set is for when Brando forgot his lines and would have to read them.

    7. His portrayal of Augustus McCrae in *Loneseome Dove* (a role he described as “at least as good as Hamlet”), was, for my money, the finest acting performance by anyone, in anything, ever.

      And his rueful delivery of “Someday this war’s gonna end” after his Napalm monologue summarizes the insanity of the US involvement in Vietnam in a single line better than anything I’ve ever heard.

    8. My first experience of him was as Tom Hagen. Next was The Great Santini and he was like a completely different man. Then in Apocalypse Now, and again someone completely different. Consummate actor. Always good in everything he did. Thanks, Bob, for the amazing body of work that you left us. Nothing but grateful.

      Hat tip to Mr Duvall. He was one of the greats! I always thought he would be the best neighbor or cool uncle… It’s a sad day. ‘26 has been the shits so far!

    10. He was amazing in Network (1976) as Frank Hackett, the executive who thinks the news department should be a big profit center for the network. He ruthlessly exploits a news anchor’s mental breakdown for ratings and a bigger bottom-line for the network. Put it on your watchlist
