Shelley Duvall, the doe-eyed actor who was both muse and protégé of director Robert Altman but might best be remembered for her co-starring role opposite Jack Nicholson in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, died today, July 11, of complications from diabetes at her home in Blanco, Texas.
She was 75. Her death was announced by her longtime partner Dan Gilroy. “My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us,” Gilroy said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “Too much suffering lately, now she’s free.
Fly away, beautiful Shelley.” Duvall rose to fame in the 1970s in a series of Altman’s films, starting with Brewster McCloud and followed by McCabe & Mrs.
Miller; Thieves Like Us, 3 Women, Nashville and Buffalo Bill and the Indians. She would go on to appear in Woody Allen’s Best Picture Oscar winner Annie Hall as a flighty Rolling Stone reporter and star in her most famous role as Wendy Torrance alongside Nicholson in Kubrick’s classic adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining.
