Academy Award-winning actor Robert Duvall died Sunday evening at his home in Middleburg, Virginia, his family announced in a statement on Monday. He was 95. His wife, Luciana Duvall, was by his side. Born Jan. 5, 1931, in San Diego to U.S. Navy Rear Admiral William Duvall and Mildred Hart, Duvall was the middle of three children. He grew up primarily in Annapolis alongside his brothers, William Jr. and John "Jack" Duvall. After earning a bachelor's degree in drama and briefly serving in the U.S. Army, he moved to New York to study at the Neighborhood Playhouse School under renowned acting teacher Sanford Meisner, laying the foundation for a career that would span more than six decades. He became a household name playing Tom Hagen, the capable consigliere to the Corleone family, in Francis Ford Coppola's mob masterpiece "The Godfather," for which he earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 1973.
