Shelley Duvall, the versatile actor known for her role in “The Shining” and collaboration with director Robert Altman, died Thursday aged 75.
The saucer-eyed actor developed a broad repertoire and captivated audiences, breaking through with 1975’s “Nashville,” and going on to portray memorable and eccentric characters that earned her a smattering of awards including at Cannes for her role in the acclaimed 1977 drama “3 Women.” Shelley Duvall has voiced admiration for Kubrick but also has publicly discussed how arduous the role was, telling People in 1981 the 13-month job was grueling and that Kubrick had her “crying 12 hours a day for weeks on end.”’82 just like that’ – Joke Silva celebrates husband, Olu Jacobs on his birthday“I will never give that much again.
