Robert Duvall Crossed The Great Divide

[JimT]

He was 95 and had a long good run. I do wonder if John Taffin and some of our other friends welcomed him.

[wvfarrier]

He had a helluva life

[GunnyMack]

A buddy of mine texted me a couple hours ago, said he was listening to an expose' about Mr Duval.
Apparently he was a Navy brat. He joined the Army, barely qualified with a rifle.
I'll always remember him from Apocalypse Now, his line of 'I love the smell of napalm in the morning ' is probably what most folks remember.

[Safestuffer]

Sad to see the last great ones fade out of the public eye. Almost forgotten as the person not the character, remembered perhaps as a legend, while close friends and family are the only ones to also witness the inevitable sunset of greatness

[Rube Burrows]

He can finally go rest in that little stand of trees called Clara's Orchard.

[Bob Hatfield]

He'll no longer need that "Therapeutic paper". Probably pure heaven for an old cowboy.

Surely was a great actor , lonesome dove and open range , being two of my favorite westerns .
After reading his filmography , there’s a whole bunch of movies I need to watch .

[marlinman93]

loved his acting, especially in westerns. But my all time favorite is and always will be Secondhand Lions. RIP

[Scott Tschirhart]

I’ll certainly miss him. God speed!

My favorite line from True Grit
Lucky Ned Pepper
" Rooster what's yours intention " Rooster Cogburn I aim to kill you or see you hung at Fort Carson makes no difference .

Lucky Ned Pepper , Thats mighty Big Talk for a one eyed fat man .

Rooster, Fill your hands you ***!!


RIP

[Lastmohecken]

I feel like his best was in "Lonesome Dove", but he really did do a lot of stuff over the years, like "Lucky Ned Pepper" in True Grit and Boo Radley in "To kill a Mockingbird". I loved him in "Apocalypse Now". And he did a bunch more, he will be missed, that's for sure.

[Pat C]

Second Hand Lion was probably my next favorite .

[Drawdown]

He was definitely my favorite actor! You'll done mentioned bunch of his best. Lonesome Dove & Open Range was his masterpiece IMO of Likes! The part he played as Robert E Lee was outstanding in God's & Generals! And come find out his mother was a blood relative of Lee. I heard him say on an interview that Lonesome Dove was his personal favorite, kinda most proud of it! Second Hand Lions was one most unique movies I ever saw, brilliantly different and interesting! I never saw a part he played i didn't like!
He said way back he only worked in Hollywood, his home was Virginia, at least at that time. Not sure where he lived in recent years.

[Pat C]

He passed away at his home on Middleburg Virginia.

[Bill in Oregon]

His father was an admiral. I have enjoyed so many of his roles over the years, but my favorite is his first: Boo Radley in "To Kill a Mockingbird."

[Ysabel Kid]

My favorite line from True Grit
Lucky Ned Pepper
" Rooster what's yours intention " Rooster Cogburn I aim to kill you or see you hung at Fort Carson makes no difference .

Lucky Ned Pepper , Thats mighty Big Talk for a one eyed fat man .

RIP

Wasn't the line though "That's bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!"

[stretch]

He'll be missed.

He always did a good job in any movie he was in. Gene Hackman was like that, too.
Morgan Freeman is another who gives good value for money.

I liked him in Lonesome Dove, Open Range, and Second Hand Lions particularly.

May he RIP.

Boo Radley gets to rest at last RIP

[gamekeeper]

Sorry to hear this but he has left us some wonderful movies to remember him by. RIP Mr Duvall.

[Scott Tschirhart]

“Gods and Generals” where he played Robert E. Lee.

[rock-steady]

He will forever be Captain Augustus McCrea to me.....

I feel like a Family Member has passed. My Favorite Actor. Lucky Ned from True Grit " I ain't never busted a cap on a Girl or anyone much under sixteen, but You can rest assured I will do what i have to do". I watched Lonesome Dove so many times I swear dust came out the speakers on the TV.

[Steve in MO]

They don't make actors like him anymore.

[AJMD429]

.
Along with Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson, the many roles that trio played were 'role models' for me as a kid.

I liked his role also in the movie The Apostle.

I'm not sure I can think of a movie I ever saw him in that I didn't like.

(I actually can't say that for Clint Eastwood. I never really figure out his orangutan movies...)
