Shelley Duvall made Hollywood history by shooting this famous 'gimme the bat' scene scene in 'The Shining' 127 times.
“My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us,” Dan Gilroy, her life partner, said in a statement. “Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley.”
“Going through day after day of excruciating work was almost unbearable,” Duvall told Roger Ebert in December of 1980. “Jack Nicholson’s character had to be crazy and angry all the time. And in my character, I had to cry 12 hours a day, all day long, the last nine months straight, five or six days a week.
