Robert Duvall passed away last Sunday (15). Following his death, his colleagues from Hollywood took to social media to pay tribute to the iconic actor.
Adam Sandler, who starred alongside Duvall in Hustle in 2022, spoke about him in a post on his Instagram profile, saying he was “incredibly funny” and “incredibly strong.”
“One of the greatest actors we ever had. A wonderful person to talk to and laugh with. We loved him very much. So many legendary films to choose from. Watch them whenever you can. Our thoughts are with his wife Luciana and all of his family and friends.”
Jamie Lee Curtis shared an image of Duvall’s performance in The Godfather in an Instagram post and called the actor “the greatest adviser the movies have ever seen.”
Also on Instagram, Alec Baldwin shared a video about Duvall’s impact on cinema, citing his first on-screen performance as Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird as an inspiration.
According to Baldwin, it demonstrated Duvall’s power as an actor by delivering such a performance “without a single word of dialogue.” “He completely impacts you. And every time I watch that film, those scenes with Duvall impress me so deeply,” he added.
Baldwin also revealed that he once met Duvall at a “celebrity tennis match” and described him as “irascible” and “grumpy,” but “a gentleman.” The actor concluded the video by sending condolences to Duvall’s widow and his friends.
Luciana, Duvall’s wife, announced his death in a Facebook post last Monday (16). “Yesterday we said goodbye to my beloved husband, dear friend, and one of the greatest actors of our time. Bob passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love and comfort.”
“To the world, he was an Oscar-winning actor, a director, a storyteller. To me, he was simply everything. His passion for art was only matched by his deep love for characters, a good meal, and welcoming visitors.”
“In each of his many roles, Bob gave himself completely to his characters and to the truth of the human spirit they represented. In doing so, he leaves us something lasting and unforgettable. Thank you for the years of support you showed Bob and for granting us this time and privacy to celebrate the memories he leaves behind,” she concluded.
