<p>Academy Award-winning actor Robert Duvall died on Sunday, a Facebook post from his wife confirmed on Monday. He was 95 years old.</p>
<p>Luciana Duvall, 54, an Argentine actress and director who has been married to the actor since 2005, shared the news in a post including a photo of them in days past.</p>
<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; she wrote in a statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;To the world, he was an Academy Award-winning actor, a director, a storyteller. To me, he was simply everything,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;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. In doing so, he leaves something lasting and unforgettable to us all. Thank you for the years of support you showed Bob and for giving us this time and privacy to celebrate the memories he leaves behind.&#8221;</p>

<p>After a short attempt at the military life, Duvall made a go at acting — and eventually became friends with a few others who were also struggling to break into the business around the same time — Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, and James Caan.</p>
<p>Duvall won the coveted Best Actor Oscar in 1984 for &#8220;Tender Mercies,&#8221; and was nominated in the same category for 1980&#8217;s &#8220;The Great Santini&#8221; and for &#8220;The Apostle&#8221; in 1997. He was nominated for Academy Awards for supporting roles in 2014&#8217;s &#8220;The Judge,&#8221; 1998&#8217;s &#8220;A Civil Action,&#8221; 1979&#8217;s &#8220;Apocalypse Now,&#8221; and 1972&#8217;s &#8220;The Godfather.&#8221;</p>
<p>Duvall&#8217;s acting career ran for well over half a century, from episodes of &#8220;Alfred Hitchcock Presents&#8221; in the early 1960s to &#8220;The Pale Blue Eye&#8221; in 2022, that latter of which also featured a cameo from Senator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yes-thats-john-fetterman-in-christian-bales-new-movie-thats-a-face-that-fits-in-the-1830s">John Fetterman</a> (D-PA). His first big-screen role was the reclusive Boo Radley in the 1962 film &#8220;To Kill a Mockingbird.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although he tried to keep his distance from politics in more recent years, Duvall was well-known in Hollywood for his conservative views. A lifelong Republican, he was awarded a National Medal of Arts by former President George W. Bush in 2005.</p>
