Died of sepsis after being struck by a poisoned Kainai arrow shortly
after relocating to Montana. His body will be held in storage until
the springtime, as the ground there is too frozen to dig.

I would love to re-watch Lonesome Dove (1989) but I never spot it
repeated on television. Duvall called Gus McCrae his favorite role in interviews and said it was a privilege to play such a great character
from literature.

I'll see if I can find it on home video.

Duvall was brought up as a Christian Scientist,
I wonder to what extent L.R. Hubbard's "science"
lines up with Mary Baker Eddy's...

I can't tell. I read the first half of "Science and Health With a Key
to the Scriptures" and could not make head or hair out of it.

He had so many great roles that to single this one out for that kind
of praise is something indeed. And I agree with him.

I think I've watched that miniseries four or five times. (That's start-to-finish viewings, not "I caught most of it as it aired on
cable" viewings, which are innumerable.) I watched it with my kids
when they were maybe 10 and 12, which (from the results) is a truly
excellent age at which to first encounter these characters. (My main
memory of this endeavor is how they lost it completely when Deets was
killed.)

All of those Lonesome Dove novels (I believe there are four) are
excellent. I cannot recommend them highly enough. This surprised me
quite a bit because I tried to read the most famous Larry McMurtry
novel, Terms of Endearment, and I found it unreadable. I don't think I
made it forty pages in. (I still quite like the James L. Brooks film adaptation, which I now understand is only loosely based on the
novel.)
