Watched Brewster McCloud (1970) recently and it had been ages since I'd seen Shelley Duvall in anything. This movie was her film debut, the first of seven movies she would make with Robert Altman. She has the unique face of one of Margaret Keane's paintings, with her big eyes.
She has such a bubbly presence in all her movies. Who could forget her terrified reactions to Jack Nicholson's insanity in The Shining?
I forced my poor musical-hating mother to take me to see Popeye (1980) which later turned out to be a financial flop. I loved it all though, only learned it was not considered a great movie years later. Even Duvall herself would tell you she was born to play Olive Oyl.
Shelley spent most of the 80's producing Fairy Tale Theatre for cable TV, live-action versions of classic fairy tales. She occasionally acted in them as well, here she is co-starring with Hervé Villechaize in the "Rumpelstiltskin" episode.
She also produced Tall Tales & Legends and Shelley Duvall's Bedtime Stories. She later moved back to Texas to a quieter life and hasn't acted at all since 2002.
(Duv)All the Shelley Movies I've Seen So Far:
Brewster McCloud
McCabe and Mrs. Miller
Nashville
Annie Hall
The Shining
Popeye
Time Bandits
Roxanne
Suburban Commando
The Underneath
The Portrait of a Lady
