Shelley Duvall as Wendy Duvall smoking a cigarette in The Shining
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Shelley Duvall’s family announced this Thursday that the actor died in her sleep from complications of diabetes at her home in Blanco, Texas. Duvall was 75 years old. The announcement was made by her life partner Dan Gilroy, who had been with her for over 30 years. Gilroy told THR, "My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us.
Though she’s starred in plenty of films throughout her career, Duvall’s face became burned into the memories of people around the world with one of the most famous scenes in The Shining: the moment in which Jack Nicholson’s character Jack Torrence tries to break his way inside a bathroom with an ax, and she’s inside screaming for her life.
Aside from The Shining, Duvall also starred in other high-profile movies. She was in cinema classics like Annie Hall and Jane Campion’s The Portrait of a Lady. She was most prolific when working with the late director Robert Altman, who was also her mentor. With him, Duvall starred in seven movies including 3 Women, Nashville, and Popeye – in the latter, she played the live-action version of the iconic cartoon character Olive Oyl.
