 Robert
Duvall Actor
The newspaper
"The New York Times" labeled him as the "Laurence Olivier of Hollywood"
but Robert Duvall would like to be remembered as a master of the tango,
love and passion that he reflected in his latest film as director,
"Assassination Tango.” Accompanied since 1996 by the
Argentine horse rider Luciana Pedraza, Duvall considers Argentina his
second home and also the source of his second language, at least when
the music does not leave this veteran of 75 years wordless. He is the
recipient of six Oscar nominations and a win. The golden statuette sits
at his home in the Andes.
