  • Many actors in their 70s gripe that they're lucky to land marginal roles as somebody's grandpa, but not so with Robert Duvall, who says he's getting more acting offers the older he gets -- This year alone, Duvall has been seen as Robert E. Lee in GODS AND GENERALS, and has plum parts as an eccentric uncle with a shady past in the upcoming SECONDHAND LIONS and as a trail boss in Kevin Costner's Western OPEN RANGE. (April 1, 2003)
  • Directing a film and starring in it sounds like a lot of work, but Duvall says doing double duty is a pleasure -- He wears both hats, and added another - that of script writer - for ASSASSINATION TANGO, in which he plays a hit man who's sent on a job to Argentina and falls in love with a dancer. (March 10, 2003)
  • Duvall opened his Byrnley Farm in Virginia to about 800 local residents and friends for a gala to raise money for the local Loudon Healthcare Foundation and Loudon Hospital Center (October 1, 2002)
