Shelley Duvall, Star of 'The Shining' and 'Nashville,' Dies at 75

Beloved Actress Remembered for Eclectic Roles

Hollywood Mourns the Loss of an Iconic Figure

Shelley Duvall, the big-eyed, waifish performer who won the Cannes actress award for her role in Robert Altman's "Three Women," died at 75 on Thursday, her publicist confirmed.

Duvall was best known for her roles in the 1980 horror movie classic "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson and the 1980 comedy "Popeye" with Robin Williams.

She also starred in seven films directed by Altman, including "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" (1971), "Nashville" (1975), and "A Wedding" (1978).

Duvall's unique and haunting performances left an indelible mark on cinema. Her role as Wendy Torrance in "The Shining" is particularly unforgettable, as she brought a sense of vulnerability and strength to the character.

Duvall's passing is a great loss to the film world. She was a true original who will be deeply missed.
