It is rare but I think in this case the TV movie was better than the original.

the years have not been kind, but “The Shining” was one of the all-time great movies and her performance was stellar.

I hope she gets the help she needs.

I liked her in Popeye and The Shining.

[”The Shining” centers on the life of Jack Torrance, an aspiring writer and recovering alcoholic who accepts a position as the off-season caretaker of the historic Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies. His family accompanies him on this job, including his young son Danny Torrance, who possesses “the shining”, an array of psychic abilities that allow Danny to see the hotel’s horrific past. Soon, after a winter storm leaves them snowbound, the supernatural forces inhabiting the hotel influence Jack’s sanity, leaving his wife and son in incredible danger.]

Thank you, Shelly for coming forward with your honesty. Who’s next? Babs? Woody?

I’d say you did, Laz. That’s the before and after picture, taken on the same night.

You are so correct.

The ‘before’ picture, before I hit that, is on the right.

The ‘after’ picture, after I hit that, is on the left.

I provide life and life-energy to the women I am with.

Supposedly, Kubrick treated her horribly on the set of “The Shining” (and encouraged Nicholson and others to do the same), because he wanted to elicit from her more of the demeanor of an actual battered spouse. I wonder if that pushed her over the edge?

That’s ok just don’t give them your “essence”,
or precious bodily fluids.

She’s not as skinny as she used to be, it seems.

"The Shining" has some profoundly creepy - at least IMO - little touches that I did not pick up on the first time I saw it. Between it and "Eyes Wide Shut," there was potential for the people involved in both films to get a little too close to stuff best kept at a distance.
