Goodbye, Robert.Robert Duvall, the steely-eyed actor whose performances in the first two Godfather films, Apocalypse Now, The Great Santini, Lonesome Dove and The Apostle made him one of the finest actors of any generation, has died. He was 95.Duvall, who received an Academy Award — one of his seven Oscar nominations — for his performance as an alcoholic country singer in Tender Mercies (1983), died Sunday at home on his Virginia ranch “surrounded by love and comfort,” his wife, Luciana, announced.[…] director Francis Ford Coppola, who first cast Duvall in The Rain People (1969), then hired him to play the trusted family lawyer Tom Hagen in The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974) and the surfing-crazy Lt. Col. Kilgore in Apocalypse Now (1979).Duvall’s line in Apocalypse Now, “I love the smell of napalm in the morning,” became the stuff of movie legend. With jets flying overhead and shells exploding nearby, the scene, shot in the Philippines, was done, amazingly, in one take.Duvall also received Oscar noms for his work as Hagen and Kilgore and for portraying tough-as-nails Marine pilot Bull Meechum in The Great Santini (1979); for starring as Pentecostal preacher Eulis “Sonny” Dewey in The Apostle (1997), which he also wrote, sang in, directed and financed; for playing the vicious but somehow charming corporate lawyer Jerome Facher in A Civil Action (1998); and for appearing as small-town magistrate Joseph Palmer, the father of Robert Downey Jr.’s character, in The Judge (2015). #HollywoodCiak via The Hollywood Reporter #RobertDuvall #ApocalypseNow #TenderMercies #TheGodfather
