And let’s not forget Olive Oyl................
What she did, she did very well. Rest in Peace, Shelley.
“Heeere’s Johnny!”
She passed away broke and in a trailer home.
Why doesn’t Hollywood establish some type of pension system for actors who fall on hard times?
Shelley had one heck of a time filming the Shining from what I’ve read. Some incredible acting. RIP.
Maybe she should have been taken to the doctor.
Rest In Peace, Shelley.
When I was little we had some old vhs of Faerie Tale Theatre. She did the intros.
Probably at youtube now, they were wonderful entertainment.
RIP, Shelley. One of Robert Altman’s fine stable of actors.
From Wiki...
In November 2016, Duvall agreed to be interviewed by Phil McGraw on his daytime talk show Dr. Phil. After the show aired, USA Today reported that Duvall appeared to be suffering from a mental illness.[50] The segment received significant criticism from the public,[51] with many suggesting that Duvall was being exploited.[52] Vivian Kubrick, daughter of director Stanley Kubrick, posted an open letter to Dr. Phil on Twitter,[53] while actress Mia Farrow tweeted that it was “upsetting and unethical to exploit Shelley Duvall at this vulnerable time in her life.”[54] Director Lee Unkrich also saw the episode and was able to locate her in 2018. The two became friends, and Unkrich said that Duvall remained very proud of her career.[2]
In February 2021, Seth Abramovitch, writer for The Hollywood Reporter, located Duvall for an interview, stating that “I only knew that it didn’t feel right for McGraw’s insensitive sideshow to be the final word on her legacy.”[55] The article noted that her memory was “sharp and full of engrossing stories.”[56] With regard to The Shining, Duvall spoke of the emotional toll of performing the role of Wendy Torrance and the challenges of long days on the set but said that Kubrick was “very warm and friendly” to her. Anjelica Huston, who was dating Jack Nicholson at the time, believed that Duvall was fully committed to the role and had even rented a small apartment in order to be close to the set.[2]
On July 11, 2024, Duvall died in her sleep at home in Blanco, Texas, due to complications of diabetes, at the age of 75.
Natural death or complications from ...?
From a local paper:
Duvall died Thursday in her sleep at her home in Blanco, Texas, her longtime partner, Dan Gilroy, announced. The cause was complications of diabetes.
We all age, just look at Biden.
She was quiet charming and talented in her youth.
