Shelley Duvall, known for her performances in 3 Women and The Shining, has passed away at 75 in Blanco, Texas. Her partner, musician Dan Gilroy, said she died in her sleep after being bedridden and in hospice care for months due to complications from diabetes. Duval rose to fame working with director Robert Altman in films like Nashville and Popeye, where her unique screen presence earned her critical acclaim.
Duvall famously faced challenges working with Stanley Kubrick on The Shining, enduring long and demanding shoots in one of her most memorable roles. Her portrayal of Olive Oyl in Popeye (opposite Robin Williams) also contributed to her lasting legacy in movies. Despite her reclusive lifestyle, she made a brief return to acting in 2023. (Variety)
