Shelley Duvall, widely known for her performance in “The Shining,” died on Thursday. She was 75.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duvall’s companion since 1989, Dan Gilroy, told the Hollywood Reporter that she died in her sleep at home in Blanco, Texas, from diabetes problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend has left us.” She has been subjected to far too much agony recently; she is now free. “Fly away, lovely Shelley,” Gilroy told the newspaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duvall started acting after being found by Robert Altman, who put her in the 1970 black comedy “Brewster McCloud.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite her reservations about acting, Duvall continued to advance in her career while working with the filmmaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She acted in “McCabe & Mrs. Miller” in 1971 and “Thieves Like Us” three years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duvall made her debut in Altman’s cult picture “Nashville,” released in 1975. She later won the Cannes picture Festival Award for Best Actress and received a British Academy Film Award nomination for Best Actress in a Leading work for her work in the 1977 picture “3 Women,” which Altman also directed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benji Gregory, the child star of “Alf,” died at the age of 46 after being discovered in a parking lot.
Duvall’s most well-known films, “Popeye” and “The Shining,” were released in 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the latter, directed by Stanley Kubrick, she plays Wendy Torrance, the anguished wife of Jack Nicholson’s erratic character, Jack Torrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duvall had numerous film and television appearances throughout the 1980s and 1990s. However, in 2002, she took a break from acting and public appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Duvall confessed that she left Hollywood to move to Texas after her brother was diagnosed with spine cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s the longest sabbatical I ever took but it was for really important reasons \u2014 to get in touch with my family again,” she told the publication at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a 20-year absence, Duvall revealed in October 2022 that she will return to the big screen in “The Forest Hills,” an independent horror-thriller directed and written by Scott Goldberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duvall is survived by her brothers Scott, Stewart, and Shane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
