The Apocalypse Now star's wife Luciana announced the news that he had passed on Monday, announcing in a Facebook post, "Yesterday we said goodbye to my beloved husband, cherished friend, and one of the greatest actors of our time. Bob passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love and comfort."

She added, "To the world, he was an Academy Award-winning actor, a director, a storyteller. To me, he was simply everything.”

Duvall routinely used Facebook to offer glimpses of his day-to-day. After his Thanksgiving message, the star shared a video on Dec. 5 showcasing his commitment to exercise well into his nineties. “I enjoy having a routine,” he captioned a video of him intently doing bicep curls with a weight.

“Though I never went to the gym to get in shape for films,” added the Godfather star. “I preferred tennis, swimming, or horseback riding to keep me in shape.”
