Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Robert Duvall died Sunday at age 95. His wife, Luciana, shared the news on his official Facebook page Monday and provided the statement to The New York Times and CNN.
"Bob passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love and comfort," she wrote. "His passion for craft was matched only by his deep love for characters, a great meal, and holding court."
Duvall won an Oscar for his role in the 1984 country music drama Tender Mercies. He also produced 2009's Crazy Heart, which landed star Jeff Bridges an Oscar.
He was also Oscar-nominated for his role as Corleone consigliere Tom Hagen in The Godfather, a role he reprised in its sequel, a tough military father in The Great Santini, a preacher in The Apostle, a lawyer in A Civil Action and an aging judge in The Judge.
In his Oscar-nominated role in Apocalypse Now, Duvall spoke two memorable quotes, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning," and "Charlie don't surf."
