Still remember Duvall in George Lucas' first film from 1971, THX 1138.

Was talking to a good friend about how pivotal Duvall's casting & performance in G1 was for his career. He was, given his exposure on TV anyway and small films, as mentioned, on people's radar. But it was Coppola's genius to give him a chance to occupy a very different character space, as the - as my very perceptive friend termed it - 'still waters run deep', utterly trustworthy & polished & contained consigliere of his adopted family in a major motion picture, which he carried magnificently.

If you, like me, hold GI & II near the top of the film pantheon you should see this :

There is also this, which I haven't yet seen but plan to, which is a dramatization of its making :

In just one more way, Coppola gave us the gift of a full awareness of Duvall's range as an actor.

To me, his most iconic role was as Gus McCrae in the miniseries Lonesome Dove That was apparently also his favorite role.

After watching the Academy Awards, I came to the realization that 3 of the actors that passed this year appeared in the same movie.

The movie? The Natural (1984)

Robert Duvall - as sportswriter Max Mercy

Michael Masden - Bump Bailey. The young "prima donna" right fielder.

Robert Redford - Roy Hobbs.
