News broke Monday that Robert Duvall, the legendary actor best known for his role in The Godfather, has died at the age of 95.

His wife, Luciana, shared the news in a heartfelt Facebook post:

“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.”

She continued:

“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.”

Across six decades, Duvall built a body of work that felt both monumental and intimate. Whether commanding the screen in epic dramas or disappearing quietly into layered supporting roles, he carried a rare gravitas - the kind that doesn’t shout, but lingers.He wasn’t just performing characters. He inhabited them.

A giant of the screen.

A student of humanity.

A life fully lived.

Rest well, Bob.
