NY Post
Shelley Duvall, the actress best known for “The Shining,” has died. She was 75.
Duvall died in her sleep of complications from diabetes at her home in Texas, according to her longtime partner, Dan Gilroy.
“My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us. Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley,” Gilroy said to The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday.
Duvall was born and raised in Texas. In 1970, she met director Robert Altman at a party and he asked her to be in his movie “Brewster McCloud,” which marked her first-ever on-screen role.
“I simply got on a plane and did it. I was swept away,” she said in a past interview.
Duvall went on to star in more of Altman’s movies, including “McCabe and Mrs. Miller,” “Thieves Like Us,” “Nashville,” “Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull’s History Lesson” and “3 Women.”
