R.I.P.
Actress Shelley Duvall of “The Shining” and “Popeye” fame has died at the age of 75 from complications related to diabetes.
The actress passed away in her sleep on Thursday at her home in Blanco, Texas, her longtime boyfriend Dan Gilroy announced online. “My dear, sweet, wonderful life, partner, and friend left us last night,” Gilroy wrote in a statement. “Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away beautiful Shelley.”
Duvall was known for appearing in Robert Altman’s films, including “Thieves Like Us,” “Nashville, ” “Popeye,” “Three Women,” and “McCabe & Ms. Miller.”
Duvall was also well-known for her leading role opposite Jack Nicholson in “The Shining.” Her terrified face when Nicholson busted down a door with an axe as he said “Heeeeere’s Johnny!” became a defining image of the horror genre. But the actress retired from Hollywood in the 1990s and disappeared from the spotlight.
