"Duvall will forever be remembered as Tom Hagen, the consigliere in The Godfather, in which he made offers people could not refuse as advisor to the crime family of Don Vito Corleone, and Colonel Kilgore, who loved the smell of napalm in the morning, in Apocalypse Now, both directed by Francis Ford Coppola. But thanks to his talent, he worked in cinema for seven decades."
"He won an Oscar for Tender Mercies, although he earned other nominations in the two films directed by Coppola as well as The Great Santini, The Apostle, A Civil Action, and The Judge. Not bad for someone who didn't say a word in his first movie role (he played the quiet and lonely Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird in 1962), although he already had experience in theater and television."
"His passion for his craft was matched only by his deep love for characters, a great meal, and holding court. For each of his many roles, Bob gave everything to his characters and to the truth of the human spirit they represented, said his wife Luciana, an Argentine actress and director with whom he shared a passion for tango, in her statement."
Robert Duvall died at age 95 on his Virginia ranch, survived by his wife Luciana Duvall. He achieved fame for iconic roles such as Tom Hagen in The Godfather and Colonel Kilgore in Apocalypse Now, both directed by Francis Ford Coppola. His career spanned seven decades and included an Academy Award for Tender Mercies plus nominations for Coppola films, The Great Santini, The Apostle, A Civil Action, and The Judge. He began with a silent film role as Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird and worked extensively in theater and television. He loved horses, singing country songs, collecting Civil War artifacts, and tango.
