Robert Duvall – Hollywood's Last Great Cowboy

Lonesome Dove (1989)
From the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Larry McMurtry -- the last great cowboy novelist -- this adaptation revived the Western and the miniseries. Opposite Tommy Lee Jones in this tale of male bonding, Duvall's Ranger-turned-rancher embodies the ethos of the Texas Ranger -- philosophical yet crude, mythic yet human.
