Robert Selden Duvall (January 5, 1931 – February 15, 2026) was an American actor and filmmaker. With a career spanning seven decades, he is regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time. He received an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, four Golden Globe Awards, two Primetime Emmy Awards, and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

His other Emmy-nominated roles are in the CBS miniseries Lonesome Dove (1989), the HBO film Stalin (1992), and the TNT film The Man Who Captured Eichmann (1996). Duvall had been married four times and did not have any children. "I guess I'm shooting blanks," he said in 2007. He added, "I've tried with a lot of different women, in and out of marriage." He met his first wife, Barbara Benjamin, a former announcer and dancer on The Jackie Gleason Show, during the filming of To Kill a Mockingbird. She had also appeared in Guys and Dolls (1955) and The Courtship of Eddie's Father (1963) under the name Barbara Brent. Benjamin had two daughters from a previous marriage, and she and Duvall were married from 1964 until 1975. His second marriage was to Gail Youngs, to whom he was married from 1982 to 1986. Through Youngs, he was briefly the brother‑in‑law of John Savage, Robin Young, and Jim Youngs. Duvall's third marriage was to Sharon Brophy, a dancer, from 1991 to 1995. In 2005, Duvall married his fourth wife, Luciana Pedraza, granddaughter of Argentine aviation pioneer Susana Ferrari Billinghurst. He met Pedraza in Argentina, recalling, "The flower shop was closed, so I went to the bakery. If the flower shop had been open, I never would've met her." Both were born on January 5, though Duvall was 41 years older. They had been together since 1997. He produced, directed, and acted with her in Assassination Tango, much of which was filmed in Buenos Aires. Duvall was known as a skilled Argentine tango dancer and maintained tango studios in both Argentina and the United States. He also trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and practiced martial arts with his wife. Duvall died at his ranch in The Plains, Virginia, on February 15, 2026, at the age of 95.
