Shelley Duvall WAS PHENOMENAL in The Shining. She was a fantastic mother who tried and succeeded in saving her child. She was terrified but so brave. I think she was Oscar-worthy.

[@jes6628]

That’s sad. She definitely deserved to live forever.

[@PelvisPresley420]

But nobody lives forever in this world. Death is guaranteed. That's why it's important to believe in God, cause people will have eternal lives in the next lifetime. And it has nothing to do with religion. It's just common sense.

The shining star of The Shining

[@jorgezarco9269]

What was the name of that Jason Scott Lee Mummy film she acted in?

[@anitalornie1743]

Loved her Fairy Tale productions - she brought so much joy!

[@AMtheAlmostAce]

I was just watching some Buffy the Vampire Slayer where Buffy needed to see her old school being remodeled by construction workers. To change the subject, my folks told me to accept that Shelly Duvall died of diabetes. Said death has nothing to do with this seventh season episode anyway.

[@crazyeyecarl]

If you're gunna remember someones life maybe don't immediately follow it up with an ad for your show? Kinda disrespectful.

[@damionknox-qx3yq]

Rip fr she didn't even get to see her new movie i was watching her for the past weeks i was very interested in her oh no 😢 she will forever be missed a shinning star literally she will be a legend in her I'm act like really sad tho rip no no no!

[@daoyang5988]

0:09 I loved it so much, laughing and after, they criticized unique. I love this Popeyes main characters role. Animated based on the book. They've beating this crap outta me! I love olive from Popeyes series. I always thank you so much! Shelley Duvall. Olive, I desperately was like, "Be your always best behavior!".

[@wpflesh6510]

That hack Stanley Kubrick broke something inside her filming the Shining…..RIP to her and i am glad she is no longer hurting

[@kazamshah4543]

She was a sweet natured kid from Texas. It was the ruthless Hollywood system that broke her spirit. It was so sad to see her decline. 😢😢😢😢😢

[@schawnettarobinson8584]

People will change suddenly.

Hollywood's "Olive Oyl" has joined "Popeye"...RIP Shelley Duvall.

[@Misserbi]

A story of privledge. You make your way but after a while it seems like you would rather have a smoke, drink a beer, or go off on your own rather than stand side by side with the ones you use to make a name for yourself. It is about growing up and she never planned on it.
