Another legend has left us. #RobertDuvall. So many great movies, its hard to pick. Godfather, Godfather II, Great Santini, MASH, Open Range, Crazy Heart, The Apostle, Lonesome Dove, the list literally goes on & on. I absolutely love Open Range, will watch it again tonight.
Breaking News: Robert Duvall, who as an actor transformed himself into a business-focused Mafia lawyer in "The Godfather," a surfing-obsessed Vietnam commander in "Apocalypse Now" and scores of other film, stage and television characters, died on Monday. He was 95. nyti.ms/4azCjbb

Sad news, by all accounts a good guy. RIP James. And also, please, please get a colonoscopy, colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers out there. Had my mom got one, she prob would've lived another 20+ years.
