Robert Duvall, best known for films like “Tender Mercies,” “The Godfather,” and “Apocalypse Now,” has died at 95. “To the world, he was an Academy Award-winning actor, a director, a storyteller. To me, he was simply everything,” his wife Luciana said in a statement. Duvall distinguished himself in his portrayal of recluse Boo Radley in 1962’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.” His enduring line from “Apocalypse Now” — “I love the smell of napalm in the morning” — was shot in one take as jets flew overhead and shells exploded nearby. “There wasn’t any time to think,” Duvall told Roger Ebert in 1983. “I heard over the intercom that we only had the use of the jets for 20 minutes. One flyby and that was it. I just got completely into the character, and if he wouldn’t flinch, I wouldn’t flinch.” Read more from @THR:
