Over his long career, Robert Duvall brought a wide range of characters to life, from tough Marines to wistful, tender-hearted cowboys.
Duvall died on Sunday. His wife Luciana posted on Facebook on Monday, "Yesterday we said goodbye to my beloved husband, cherished friend, and one of the greatest actors of our time. Bob passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love and comfort."
He was 95 years old.
In
his first major movie role, in 1962, Robert Duvall appeared in only a
handful of scenes. He didn't have a single word of dialogue. Yet the
actor managed to make an indelible, star-making impression. The film was
To Kill a Mockingbird. The role was Boo Radley.
