Jane Seymour felt privileged to work with Robert Duvall.
The legendary actor passed away on Sunday (02.15.26), aged 95, and Jane has paid an emotional tribute to the Hollywood star.
Jane, 75 - who worked with Duvall on The Stars Fell on Henrietta, the 1995 drama film - wrote on Instagram: "There are actors who perform, and there are actors who inhabit a role completely. Robert Duvall did the latter. His presence on screen carried honesty, weight, and grace.
"James Keach and I had the privilege of working with him on The Stars Fell on Henrietta, and we were able to share in his love of barbecue and even a little tango. Those moments off camera were just as memorable as the work itself.
"I'm thankful for the moments shared and for the artistry he gave the world. He will be greatly missed. Sending my deepest condolences to his family. [heart emoji] (sic)"
Duvall's wife, Luciana, was the first person to announce news of his passing, confirming that he was "at home, surrounded by love and comfort".
In a statement posted on Facebook, Luciana said: "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.
"To the world, he was an Academy Award-winning actor, a director, a storyteller. To me, he was simply everything. His passion for his craft was matched only by his deep love for characters, a great meal, and holding court. For each of his many roles, Bob gave everything to his characters and to the truth of the human spirit they represented. In doing so, he leaves something lasting and unforgettable to us all. Thank you for the years of support you showed Bob and for giving us this time and privacy to celebrate the memories he leaves behind."
