Shelley Duvall, July 7, 1949, July 11, 2024, was an actress whose best-known film was

00:00:07,139 --> 00:00:12,679
The Shining, 1980. The most memorable moment in this film is when Jack Nicholson,

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,440
her husband in the film, crashes through the door with an axe while Duvall is cowering in a corner

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,859
with her bulging eyes and wielding a knife. The shoot, full of grueling scenes, lasted for 13

5
00:00:22,859 --> 00:00:28,260
months and made her cry 12 hours a day for weeks on end. After this film, Duvall only worked as a

6
00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:33,679
TV producer for a TV show aimed at children, fairy tale theater, and other minor projects.

00:00:34,179 --> 00:00:40,159
In 2016 was interviewed on a TV show, Dr. Phil, in which she talked about her problems with mental

00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:46,140
illness. Duvall had been retired since 2002 when Scott Goldberg gave her the opportunity to star

00:00:46,140 --> 00:00:53,100
in his film, The Forest Hill, 2023, a few months before she died in 2024 from diabetes-related

10
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:57,759
complications. She accepted the role of a matriarch whose son suffers a head trauma

11
00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:02,960
and experiences nightmare visions of his mother. She was excited and very happy during filming and

12
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,359
showed great interest in film technology, and the speed and efficiency of digital filming.

13
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:12,659
In this way, Duvall showed her aptitude for the job and shared experiences with other actors who

14
00:01:12,659 --> 00:01:17,400
described her as humble and likable, as opposed to the image she gave on the TV show Dr. Phil.
