He has English, and smaller amounts of French Huguenot, German, Scottish, Swiss-German, and Welsh ancestry.〔http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000380/bio〕 His mother was a relative of American Civil War General Robert E. Lee, and a member of the Lee Family of Virginia, while his father was a descendant of settler Mareen Duvall.〔Vickers, Hugo (2011). Behind Closed Doors: The Tragic, Untold, Story of the Duchess of Windsor. London: Hutchinson. p. 377. ISBN 978-0-09-193155-1.〕 Duvall was raised in the Christian Science religion and has stated that, while it is his belief, he does not attend church.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Religious Affiliation of Robert Duvall )〕 He grew up primarily in Annapolis, Maryland, site of the United States Naval Academy. He recalled: "I was a Navy brat. My father started at the Academy when he was 16, made captain at 39 and retired as a rear admiral." He attended Severn School in Severna Park, Maryland, and The Principia in St. Louis, Missouri. He graduated, in 1953, from Principia College in Elsah, Illinois.〔〔 Duvall served in the United States Army for a short while after the Korean War, from August 19, 1953, to August 20, 1954, leaving as Private First Class. He explained in 1984: "That's led to some confusion in the press. Some stories have me shooting it out with the Commies from a foxhole over in Frozen Chosen. Pork Chop Hill stuff. Hell, I barely qualified with the M-1 rifle in basic training".〔 While stationed at Camp Gordon (later renamed Fort Gordon) in Georgia, Duvall acted in an amateur production of the comedy "Room Service" in nearby Augusta, Georgia.〔 In the winter of 1955, Duvall began studies at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theater in New York,〔 under Sanford Meisner, on the G.I. Bill. He was there for two years. Dustin Hoffman, Gene Hackman, and James Caan were among his classmates.〔〔Current Biography July 1977 (The H.W. Wilson Company) at robertduvall.net23.net. Retrieved January 2, 2012.〕 He was there in 1957 attending Meisner's classes.〔Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre: Photo Gallery at www.neighborhoodplayhouse.org. Retrieved December 31, 2011.〕 While studying acting, he worked as a Manhattan post office clerk. Duvall remains friends today with fellow California born actors Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman, whom he knew during their years as struggling actors.〔 In 1955, Duvall roomed with Hoffman in a New York City apartment while they were studying together at The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Celebrity Roommates )〕 Around this time he also roomed with Hackman, while working odd jobs such as clerking at Macy's, sorting mail at the post office, and driving a truck. The three roommates have since earned, between themselves, nineteen Academy Award nominations, with five wins. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Duvall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
