    She genuinely seemed like a really sweet person, and she didnt deserve any of the abuse Kubrick gave her or the hate she got from being in the movie. R.I.P. you legend, thanks for the great performances you gave us

    Overworking an actress to the point of mental and physical exhaustion, to the point where there hair falls out AND telling others not to feel sympathy towards her? Yeah despite what she said, that's abuse to me. And idc how talented of a director he was or how good "The Shining" ended up being. Theres no reason she should've been treated like that And theres video of him doing this to her

    It's incredible what time does to us. Watching and listening to her here, versus seeing what she looked and sounded like just before her death... I wouldn't ever have recognized her older self if I didn't already know it was her. And even then, I would have had a hard time believing it. It seemed like she had had a very hard later life, and I'm so happy that she was able to come back for one last role that she truly enjoyed acting in before she passed. Her legacy will continue to be celebrated for years to come. Rest in peace, Shelley Duvall.
