Actor Robert Duvall to host Romney fundraiser

While President Obama is usually the candidate rubbing elbows with Hollywood's celebrities — just this week it was announced the president's campaign would host fundraisers with the cast of "The Wire" and Vogue editor Anna Wintour — Mitt Romney is looking to cash in with some star power of his own.

Actor Robert Duvall, star of "Apocalypse Now" and "The Godfather," will host a fundraiser for the Republican presidential hopeful in September at his Virginia home.

According to the invitation — obtained Wednesday by the National Journal — tickets to the event are $2,500 per person, while a $10,000 donation will assure you a photo with Duvall. For $25,000, supporters will get to enjoy dinner at the Duvall home.

While Romney is not expected to attend, his wife, Ann, is scheduled to be there.

Duvall is a longtime Republican supporter, and was a guest of President George W. Bush at his first inauguration. During the 2008 campaign, Duvall provided voiceover work for some of the videos appearing at the GOP convention, and campaigned with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in New Mexico.
