Essential Robert Duvall Movies to Own on Home Video

by

Robert Duvall’s film debut was a memorable one. Screenwriter Horton Foote suggested him for the role of Boo Radley in the movie adaptation of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, and Duvall, who was primarily a stage actor at the time, got the part. The film became a classic of the early 1960s, and Foote and Duvall later collaborated again on Tender Mercies.

The Godfather’s Robert Duvall, Dead at 95

by

I’ve always been fascinated by Robert Duvall’s background. He was born back in 1931 and ended up serving after the Korean War. He’s even joked about it, saying some stories claim he was in intense battles at places like Chosin and Pork Chop Hill, but he admits he barely knew how to handle a rifle in basic training! Luckily, he used the G.I. Bill to study acting with the great Stanford Meisner. While doing theater and TV work in New York, he connected with Horton Foote, who suggested him for the role of Boo Radley in the classic To Kill a Mockingbird back in ’62. He kept working steadily throughout the sixties, but it was really in the 1970s, during that incredible New Hollywood era, that his career really took off.

The Real Housewives of Potomac Reunion Recap: Life’s a Stage

by

Nearly 25 years later, Chicago is now the longest-running musical on Broadway, famous for its revolving door of celebrity Roxie Harts – and it’s ironic that so many have been Real Housewives. It’s become strangely self-aware: the show questions the very industry – entertainment – that thrives on drama and attention. Reality TV perfectly embodies this, as cast members often exaggerate their personalities to stay relevant, essentially becoming caricatures of themselves to avoid being forgotten. While I’m not suggesting Andy Cohen is the villain Billy Flynn, his advice to the Potomac wives about the dangers of online fandom echoes a warning Billy gives Roxie: that she’s a fleeting celebrity. Nothing captures this hunger for drama quite like a Housewives reunion. Just as Billy advises, it’s about giving the audience a spectacular show that keeps them engaged.
