Sad news. Such an amazing actor. DH and I were just talking about him yesterday. I think my first memory of him was Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird.

I used to watch WWW with my mother. I remember Orson Bean mainly from To Tell the Truth. Orson was killed about six blocks from where I used to live in Venice. I wonder if he was visiting Beyond Baroque Art Center, which is at the location where he was hit by the car.

Great example of his spare/sparse style, almost like a slow hand clap with a little cymbal. That song was written by an African American blues guitarist named Mississippi Fred McDowell. It was originally played in the traditional black delta blues style of just the performer playing the guitar and singing (ever hear any Robert Johnson? Like that). So anything more than a super light sparse drum part wouldn't have been a good fit, as he well knew.

I loved Shelley Duvall in Three Women. I also knew the artist who did the murals in the swimming pool in that movie - he was good friends with my roommate in San Francisco. Shelley made several movies with Robert Altman, and I liked all of them, especially Brewster McCloud, (her first movie), which was filmed in Houston when I lived there. At that time, I had the same Houston accent that Shelley had, although I lost most of it when I lived in San Francisco. However, my clothing design partner in SF told me that Shelley Duvall's character reminded him of me when he saw Three Women. The cleaning woman where I worked in L.A. had previously worked for Robert Altman, and I was good friends with her. She told me that Altman wanted her to move to New York with him so that she could continue working for him, but she did not want to leave L.A., and she then got a job as a live-in housekeeper for my boss. She told me lots of stories about what it was like working for my boss, and she eventually quit and went to work for her has the cleaning person for the furniture company. I've watched Jack LaLanne on TV and liked him, but I thought Richard Simmons was more entertaining. I remember hearing him say, "Move those legs - those are calves - they're steers!" There was a Dr. Ruth style character in the independent movie that I was in. Paul did not give me credit on IMDB, possibly because I was not part of the original cast and was added in later. I played the part of Michael's brother, and our scenes were filmed at my house in Venice. I was given credit in the film credits - just not on IMDB,

Great actor with so many great movie roles. He didn't seem like the Frank Burns type but he played it well in the M.A.S.H movie. I liked him paired with Tommy Lee Jones in the Lonesome Dove series. It's hard to believe he's been acting since before I was born.

RIP

Loved everything he ever did. I think I learned to really like him with Secondhand Lions. He plays a good no-nonsense curmudgeon

Secondhand Lions is one of my all time favorite movies. I have not been a big Robert Duvall fan per se, but I really appreciate his varied characters and what he brings to a role. He will be missed. This came as a surprise.

I was watching old Alfred Hitchcock episodes and spotted him, about the same time as To Kill a Mockingbird. He was amazing even then.

I didn’t realize To Kill a Mockingbird was his first film at age 31. He was impressive considering he had no dialogue. I also adored Gregory Peck as Atticus. Amazing movie.

Excellent actor - his work lives on, for sure. Glad he had a long life.

And we recently watched every episode of The Outer Limits - he was in several of those.

He was blessed with a good long life and a very successful career. He was great in Secondhand Lions and in Open Range with Kevin Costner. God bless his soul.

Sorry to hear this. He was so good in so many roles. All the ones mentioned, but I'll add The Godfather. And to this day, we still repeat his line from Apocalypse Now: "I love the smell of naplam in the morning."

My favorite-considering the type of light-hearted movies I mostly like-was Something to Talk About. I loved him... and the horses. He was a good man too.

He was such a versatile actor. I rewatched the seventies Invasion of the Body Snatchers recently, and had forgotten he had a cameo.

Colbert had a segment on him tonight. It was a fairly recent interview, and Stephen was a huge fan. I'm glad he had a long life, and he seemed very "with it" in the interview.
