THR: Shelley Duvall, Robert Altman Protege and Tormented Wife in ‘The Shining,’ Dies at 75
Shelley Duvall died today, after a really strange and sad later chapter in her life. She was a star and icon of unusual 'off-beat' beauty in the 70s and 80s. She was a model before she found herself in several Robert Altman movies such as Nashville, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, and Popeye. Naturally, she's most remembered for The Shining, which is obviously an iconic film, but she's also remembered largely for the way she was treated by Stanley Kubrick.
Unfortunately, this has been discussed as an explanation of her mental health struggles later in her life by online pop/arm chair psychologists. She all but disappeared from public life, and then re-emerged nearly unrecognizable at an older age and was exploited by Dr. Phil for his sleazy show, and it was clear that she was mentally unwell, and likely physically ill as well.
A sad end to a unique and interesting life.
