I just realised today that Robert Duvall was Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird (one of my fav classic films)... his first major role!

Life has only one unalterable certainty—death.
One might also think and say: 95 years, what a proud age.
Nevertheless, the death of a person is more or less touching for those who have walked this earth with the deceased for a while and associate positive memories with them.
I associate Robert Duvall with the highly revered, but always very underrated, actor of integrity who not only played each of his roles, but filled them quite perfectly.
I liked him very much, appreciated him anyway, and with him goes another piece of film history that produced great actors and very good films.

Hope this is taken for what it is, he was famous... World famous..
