According to NBC News, Duvall did not want a formal service, with his family asking from his fans to honor his memory by “watching a great film, telling a good story around a table with friends, or taking a drive in the countryside to appreciate the world’s beauty.”
His Oscar nominations spanned over four decades, exemplifying a career that was both consistent and diverse.
Tributes from fellow colleagues and fans poured in, honoring his legacy.
Al Pacino, his “Godfather” co-star, said in a statement to The Associated Press, “It was an honor to have worked with Robert Duvall. He was a born actor as they say, his connection with it, his understanding and his phenomenal gift will always be remembered. I will miss him.”
