A statement released by his PR agency on behalf of his wife, Luciana, confirmed the development. She expressed deep sadness over his passing, describing him as her everything.
“To the world, he was an Academy Award-winning actor, a director, a storyteller. To me, he was simply everything. His passion for his craft was matched only by his deep love for characters, a great meal, and holding court,” she said.
Reacting to the news, his Godfather co-star, Al Pacino, described working with Duvall as a great honour.
“He was a born actor as they say, his connection with it, his understanding and his phenomenal gift will always be remembered. I will miss him,” he said.
