STATEMENT FROM LUCIANA DUVALL

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.

To the world, he was an Academy Award-winning actor, a director, a storyteller. To me, he was simply everything. 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.

Ha muerto Robert Duvall, actor genial, aquel oficial de caballería loco de surf en “Apocalypse Now” (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979) que decía : “No hay nada mejor que el olor a napalm en las madrugadas”… Legendario…

Duvall is superb in Falling Down. His genteel cop, on the cusp of retirement, representing a throwback to a better America that offsets the unhinged rage of the unhinged Michael Douglas white collar worker

A rare 90s film that has become relevant again in the age of MAGA and Internet trolls.
