Stars of the 70s: Then & Now

Shelley Duvall

Shelley Duvall found stardom in the 1970s with a number of recurring roles in several Robert Altman films that won her fame, such as Brewster McCloud, Thieves Like Us, and 3 Women. Her roles in The Shining and Popeye gave her further fame in the 80s and 90s, and she continued acting until 2002, at which point she retired from her career. Duvall drew attention to herself in 2016 when she informed Dr. Phil that she was mentally ill and suffering from delusions that affect her perception of reality. Duvall has refused to receive a formal diagnosis and threatened to kill any doctor who attempted to give her a psychological assessment.
