Shelley Duvall...what happened?

Shelley Duvall gave a brilliant and unforgettable performance as Wendy Torrance in Stanley Kubrick's iconic horror film "The Shining". But behind the scenes, the intense and grueling shoot took a devastating toll on her mental health and well-being.

In this video, we'll explore the harrowing experience of Shelley Duvall on the set of "The Shining," and how it ultimately broke one of Hollywood's most talented and beloved actresses. We'll delve into the ways in which Kubrick's demanding directorial style left Duvall feeling isolated, stressed, and emotionally drained, and how the grueling 12-month shoot pushed her to the brink of a breakdown.

I want to address some of the comments regarding the thumbnail for this video. My intention was never to highlight Shelley Duvall's aging. The before-and-after images were meant to illustrate the significant changes she went through because of the difficult experiences she endured while working with Stanley Kubrick. If you watch my video until the end, my focus was solely on discussing her struggles while working on "The Shining" and how ruthless Stanley Kubrick was to her, and her appearance came with her struggle with her mental health. My goal is to honor her memory and share her story with respect, as she was unfairly treated despite being an incredibly talented actress who brought joy and depth to her roles. Her recent passing is a shock to me and also a tremendous loss as a fan. I hope this message will put an end to the notion that I am disrespecting her, and instead, let's all remember Shelley for the amazing contributions she made to the film industry ❤

It's disgusting that you compare a photo from when she was young to now. 35 years later, we ALL look older.

Dude she didn't " fade out"
She had her own production company. She was the creator of fairy tale theater which every a-list actor under the sun featured on.
Decent video overall but you really lost me with that statement. I wish people would stop sensationalizing her life so that all she ever did was The shining and her Dr Phil debacle.

One of the most underrated and tortured actors of hollywood

Kudos to Shelley Duvall for not succumbing to the Hollywood plastic surgery disease or selling herself like a piece of meat. I respect her all the more for being truly genuine and aging like a REAL person! People never seen to fully realize how intelligent she is probably because she is such a humble person but I've got to say, I'm a big fan of hers and I think of her and greatly successful despite what anyone else says.

She got older and she was dealing with some mental issues … She’s still and always will be a queen… She passed away today so let’s show her some respect… Rest easy Shelley 🌹

Idk how she was nominated for a Razzie. Her performance was way too real and I could feel her terror. Scared the bejesus out of me as a kid.

I hate when people say "What happened?" Aging happened and it happens to us who live long enough

[kirstielee]

What happened? She doesn't look exactly the same as she did in the 60s wow I wonder what it could be... 60 years ago ! It's called aging

How disgusting to insinuate she "faded out." Why make a video essay on something you clearly haven't even bothered to research? Your statement does a gross disservice to Shelley's career.

She is such a sweetheart. Poor thing went through hell. I hope the people around her show her that she is appreciated.

[rozchristopherson]

She should have been nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in "The Shining." Truly a brilliant actress. RIP Shelley. 🧡🧡🙏🙏

As a diagnosed psychotic, I feel for Shelley. Also, Dr.Phil should be tarred and feathered for profiteering off making a general mockery out of her turmoil.

Since all great actors have distinct facial traits which suggest a certain typology, I think she really fits among top high ranking stars.

Much respect to Shelley. The Shining was great, but Popeye is one of the two films I rewatched the most when I was young (along with Raiders of the Lost Ark). And hearing her perform Harry Nilsson's "He Needs Me" never fails to make smile inside.

One of the most underrated chanells ive ever seen, sad to see your videos not being able to get past even 10k views

[GabrielaShima]

For a long time the shining was one of my favorites of all time, but since I've got to know more about the production it just gets me in mixed feelings.

[nobodyowens]

The same tning that happens to every person who ever lived
Its called life
And shes still beautiful.

[nightslayer]

Shelley was a lot more than an actress, you had a kind soul. I hated the way Stanley treated her

[sarlukowski]

In conclusion, people age. Not sure why you have to reduce her life to a “what happened?” YouTube video.
