Robert Duvall walked past a bakery in Buenos Aires in 1996 and struck up a conversation with a young Argentine woman on the street. He was in his sixties. She was in her twenties. "I figured, why not?" he later said. "And it worked out."

It took years, but it worked out completely. They married in 2005, his fourth marriage, and stayed together until his death this past February at 95. Luciana Pedraza wrote on Facebook: "To me, he was simply everything." He died peacefully at home in Virginia, surrounded by love.

Their bond went beyond marriage. Luciana starred in Assassination Tango, the film Duvall wrote and directed. They shared the same birthday, January 5, born 41 years apart. Together they also founded a children's charity supporting families in northern Argentina.

At 90, when asked what mattered most to him, Duvall didn't mention any of his films. He said simply: "Day to day with my wonderful wife."

A chance meeting outside a bakery turned into 21 years of marriage, and a love that outlasted every role he ever played. Whether you believe in love or not, that’s beyond the point. was in a position where he had leverage and options. Coach Greg Adams is always saying boss up, and in the book, the Free Agent Lifestyle, once you do those things to bring you up to higher levels where you have leverage and options, you can consider marriage and you can have something similar to this. Yes these young women do want you, despite with the old fat black women and the wrinkly soggy yogurt white women say.

Rest in peace, Mr. Duvall!
