It’s not as if he was a newcomer to the screen (although at the time he was unfamiliar to me), but way back in 1979 I took my new bride to the movies to see “Magic”, mostly because of Ann-Margret.
I can still vividly recall telling my better half, as we left the theater, “that actor is incredible. He’s going places.”
Maybe I should’ve been a professional talent scout.
I didn’t realize much about Robert Duvall until ‘The Great Santini’.
Then, I learned that he was in one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes (1963), and played Boo Radley in ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ (1962).
He’s been working more than 60 years!
