"Duvall won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as an alcoholic former country music star in Tender Mercies (1983). His other Oscar-nominated roles included The Godfather (1972), Apocalypse Now (1979), The Great Santini (1979), The Apostle (1997), A Civil Action (1998), and The Judge (2014)."

He starred in several notable Westerns, such as Lonesome Dove, Open Range, Broken Trail, which defined a realistic view of the old West. Both Open Range and Broken Trail were filmed near Calgary, Alberta, Canada. First Nations rituals were undertaken prior to filming.

Duvall was avowedly a committed Christian.
He was nominated for the Oscar for this film.

He was a regular in my area, frequenting the local coffee shops, restaurants, and a local "fun" club tournament between 3 clubs in the region that was held annually. I didn't know him, but many people I played with 20+ years ago did, referring to him as "Bobby".

One year I was the "sacrificial lamb" to play singles vs a ringer one club would fly in (hence the quote around 'fun'). It was mid-June, and hot as hell. I was standing on the deck outside the club right next a huge fan trying to cool down after a valiant 2 & 2 loss. Two guys were talking, and I recognized one of the voices. Turned around, and Robert Duvall was right behind me. He looked at me (as I stood there, dripping in sweat), I simply nodded, he nodded back, and I turned around to continue cooling down.

I figured the last thing he wanted was some random sweaty guy telling him how much he enjoyed his movies. The guy just wanted to be left alone & enjoy the tennis.

Clean living and a good diet will do that.

Dying at 95 proves he was putting off an ever-lasting life as long as possible.

He was human, all-too-human, and humans prioritise the self over the transcendental.

You are speaking as a strictly outside observer, of course.
