Shelley Duvall, renowned for her role in 'The Shining,' passed away at her home in Blanco, Texas, just days after celebrating her 75th birthday. Duvall succumbed to complications from diabetes, her partner Dan Gilroy confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. "My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us. Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley," Dan Gilroy. Born on July 7, 1949, in Fort Worth, Texas, Duvall was discovered by director Robert Altman’s crew in 1970, leading to her first role in 'Brewster McCloud'. She collaborated with Altman on several films before her iconic performance in 'The Shining,' which demanded a grueling 56-week shoot. Duvall had many famous roles and became a celebrated producer of children's anthology series like 'Faerie Tale Theatre,' earning a Peabody Award. She stepped away from acting in the early 2000s, returning briefly in 2023 for 'The Forest Hills'. Duvall leaves behind a legacy of resilience and artistry, remembered fondly by fans and colleagues alike.
