A week ago tonight, Robert Duvall and I chatted outside a pre-Emy party honoring nominated producers. He told me that, yes, he did want to win. He hadn't won anything in a long time. Well, he just WON best actor in a miniseries of movie for the Western "Broken Trail."
He told the audience that "I knew it was going to be a hit" and that "the western is here to stay."
He's made some dandies from "Lonesome Dove" to "Open Range."
This is cool.
Duvall, about to be p;layed off-stage by the orchestra, added: "I'm very proud to be an actor in this business."
