Shelly Duvall, who starred as Jack Nicholson’s tormented wife in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining has died. She was 75.
The star’s death was announced on Thursday morning by her long-time partner Dan Gilroy.
“My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us. Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley,” Gilroy wrote, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Duvall has suffered from a series of health issues for more than a decade, including diabetes and mental health problems. She even appeared on the Dr Phil show and spoke openly about her mental health challenges.
Born on July 7, 1949, in Fort Worth, Texas, Duvall met famed film director Robert Altman at a party while he was shooting Brewster McCloud in 1970. Altman was immediately taken by her and asked her to come to Hollywood. Altman later cast her in McCabe & Mrs. Miller in 1971 and in Thieves Like Us in 1974. She was next in Altman’s Nashville in 1975, and she never looked back.
Duvall once sang Altman’s praise, telling The New York Times in 1977 that, “He offers me damn good roles. None of them have been alike. He has a great confidence in me, and a trust and respect for me, and he doesn’t put any restrictions on me or intimidate me, and I love him.”
The Texas native won the best actress award at the Cannes Film Festival for portraying Millie in Altman’s 1977 film, 3 Women.
