'The Shining' star Shelley Duvall on Hollywood return after leaving spotlight for 20 years: ‘I can still win’

"The Shining" star Shelley Duvall is back after being out of the Hollywood spotlight for two decades. Duvall spoke about making her big return to the big screen in the upcoming horror film, "The Forest Hills." "Acting again — it's so much fun.

It enriches your life," Duvall said during an interview with People Magazine. Jessica Tandy "won an Oscar when she was 80. I can still win." The 73-year-old actress last appeared in the 2002 independent film "Manna from Heaven." Duvall reminisced about how her life changed at age 18 when she was spotted at an art opening and asked to audition for her first movie.

In 1970, she co-starred in Richard Altman’s comedy "Brewster McCloud." After starring in two more films, Duvall decided to make acting her career, she told the outlet. "After ‘Thieves Like Us,’ Robert [Altman] looked at me and said, 'I knew you were good, but I didn't know you were great,'" Duvall said with tears in her eyes. "It's the reason I stuck with it and became an actress." Duvall first became known for her memorable portrayals of quirky characters, including Millie Lammoreaux in the 1977 drama "Three Women" and Olive Oyl in the 1980 live-action "Popeye" movie. "All it took was to put on the costume, and I knew exactly how to play Olive," Duvall noted.

She shot to international fame when she starred as Wendy Torrance in "The Shining," Stanley Kubrick's iconic 1980 adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel.
