Robert Duvall had an iconic career prior to his passing on Feb. 15, 2025, at age 95. His wife, Luciana Pedraza, shared the news via Facebook the following day, writing, "Yesterday we said goodbye to my beloved husband, cherished friend and one of the greatest actors of our time." The actor "passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love and comfort." Across decades Duvall took on memorable roles.

He had television parts in the 1960s, including Cosa Nostra: Arch Enemy of the F.B.I. and a 1969 role on The Mod Squad, then moved into film with THX 1138 in 1971, The Godfather in 1972 as Tom Hagen opposite Marlon Brando, and Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore in Apocalypse Now (1979).
