Robert Duvall RIP

I was sad to hear that the actor Robert Duvall passed away today and then surprised to hear that he was 95 years old.

He was in so many of the films I loved over the years. He was also in a lot of TV shows early in my life when I didn't know him or who he was or who he would turn out to be later on but apparently I probably saw him a lot on so many shows in the early to mid 1960's.

Shows like The Outer Limits, Route 66, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Combat!, The Untouchables, The F.B.I. and many more. And then he was in that classic miniseries I loved from 1989... Lonesome Dove.

The films of his that really made an impression on me as a young person were these and so many more...

  • To Kill A Mockingbird, 1962
  • Bullitt, 1968
  • True Grit, 1969
  • M*A*S*H*, 1970
  • THX 1138, 1971
  • The Godfather, 1972
  • Joe Kidd, 1972
  • The Conversation, 1974
  • The Godfather Part II, 1974
  • The Killer Elite, 1975
  • The Eagle Has Landed, 1976
  • The Seven-Percent-Solution
  • Network, 1976
  • Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 1978
  • Apocalypse Now, 1979
  • True Confessions, 1981
  • The Natural, 1984
And the list would keep on going.
