Robert Duvall, a Chameleon of an Actor Onscreen and Onstage, Dies at 95

 

An Oscar winner, he was known for disappearing into wide-ranging roles in movies like “Apocalypse Now” and “The Godfather” and in the television series “Lonesome Dove.” 

 

 " Robert Duvall, who drew from a seemingly bottomless reservoir of acting craftsmanship to transform himself into a business-focused Mafia lawyer, a faded country singer, a cynical police detective, a bullying Marine pilot, a surfing-obsessed Vietnam commander, a mysterious Southern recluse and scores of other film, stage and television characters, died on Sunday. He was 95."
