‘The Shining’ Star Shelley Duvall Dead at 75

Shelley Duvall, once one of Hollywood's rising stars, died in her sleep from complications from diabetes. She was 75. Her long-time boyfriend made the announcement. "My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us," said Dan Gilroy. "Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley.” Duvall's most famous role was playing Jack Nicholson's wife in "The Shining." The film turned her into a screen icon. In 2002, Duvall walked away from Hollywood and became a recluse.

I literally googled her recently to see if she was still alive, and I was like "Oh thank goodness, she is doing well", and now this happened...RIP.

Everybody has hardships, I think it's best if we celebrate her at her best and not dwell on her at her worst. She was an amazing actress, rip.

Anyone else remember “Shelley Duvall’s Mother Goose Rock N Rhyme Land” video from the 90s? Not to mention Fairytale Theatre. She was a huge part of my childhood on VHS. She was so sweet and talented. RIP

I watched 'The Shining' for the first time a few years ago, and that movie is just as good as it was the decade it released. Timeless, especially if you're into horror.

[SagittariusQueen]

I remember watching that Dr. Phil episode and even then I knew he exploited her and her struggles. Shame on him! RIP Shelly Duvall.

In this hard, hellish world, Miss Duvall was truly a sweet, beautiful innocent angel. The world is hardest on the nicest, most precious of people. May she RIP.
