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

It's not true about Kubrick. She had good opinion about working with him even 40 years after movie's release.

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
We need more people like her in this cruel world. R.I.P.

Definitely. That role of olive oil was perfect for her. Sounded just like the cartoon which I loved. And the Shining sacred the heck out of me when I first watched it I was 10 yrs old
She is so adorable in this interview. Welcome to joyful eternity, Sweet Shelley!🕊
She was so young here. I love her voice. Her Bedtime Stories, Fairie Time Theater and Tall Tales shows were wonderful.

i remember a time on the internet when people were always calling her ugly, like back before she reappeared in the mid 2010s. I never got it cuz i always thought she was quite pretty
It's so rare to come across people who are so transparent and open, almost like a child. RIP Shelly.

I think that's what made her the "perfect" victim of abuse. Sweet and caring people are preyed on by abusers like Kubrick.
Shelly was so beautiful, when I recently heard about the crazy things she had to endure during the shining filming, may she rest in peace 🙏 thank you for giving us such a beautiful human😊
I was always struck by how warm and inviting she seemed as an actress.
I loved her! R.I.P. sweet Shelley. You were a great actress. 😢
I love her voice and face. Such a sweetheart.
She was so incredibly, off-the-charts charismatic. RIP.

loved her as olive oil. she nailed that role. r.i.p.
Shelley seemed like a really sweet person. R.I.P. dear.
Shelly seemed like a genuinely nice and sweet person. I hope she rest in peace.
RIP Shelley Duvall.. you filled my life with joy as a young boy from the age of 5 and up from the time I first saw you in Popeye. You deserved an academy award for best supporting actor as Olive. So versatile.. love this interview. Beautiful soul. ❤
Shelley was a a kindhearted actress and my she rest in peace ❤🕊🙏🌷🌸🌷🌹
She's such a great person, always has been. I hope she's in Heaven as we speak. Amazing actress too. Praying for Robert Duvall, he's 93 now and he was also a great actor. I hope he's not suffering too much, I want to meet both in heaven, I hope they're both saved
A beautiful soul.....and a genuine person. Hard to find these days. Her death, for whatever reason, has touched me. Condolences and love to family friends and fans. ❤ Jeff

Rebecca Demornay didn't do so bad in The Shining miniseries
Shelley would ALWAYS be remembered as a national treasure. R.I.P. angel 💖☀
I saw an old clip of The Shining the other day and wondered whether Shelley was still alive or not, so when I Googled her it said she was alive. Then she literally ended up literally dying the next day. This is nuts.
I always remembered her in Popeye R.I.P. Shelley Duvall 😭💔 I'm so sad 😭
Sorry to hear that! I thinks she did a good acting job as Wendy in the Shining! I watched that movie several times!

Thank you today show for posting this
Great memories. God bless them both. Seemed like a simpler time.
Shelly Duvall was such a sweetheart, She was amazing 🙏
Good Lord, this was recorded exactly 6 days before I was born! Meanwhile, ABC was about to hit daytime audiences with a certain soap opera wedding. Care to guess the couple? All jokes aside, I'm glad folks will be viewing this lovely lady for ages thanks to KZread. Go on to Robin, sweet Shelley. He needs you...❤

I wish she was a presenter/puppeteer on Sesame Street when I was a child. Her whole vibe would’ve been perfect for that show.
RIP and thanks for the movies
This was a great clip. I really enjoyed seeing Shelley Duvall and Gene Schalit again. She was a wonderful actress. Pretty also.
R.I.P Shelley Duvall. 🕊🙏🕊
Very pretty, adorable, genuine..and a fantastic actress
Rest In Peace Shelley Duvall (1949-2024)!!!
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.
I love her so much. Even so sweet and wonderful in later years. RIP Shelley.
She was a GEM. I hope you know, Shelly, how special you were to your TRUE fans. Rest in peace.
rip Shelly So beautiful and talented........
Se nota que tenía un lindo carácter y un corazón hermoso ❤ Que pena lo que le pasó. Descansa en Paz Shelly 🕊️
A talent you can’t learn in school. Brilliant!
Norma Kanaki was a popular designer back in the ‘80s. Shelley wire that red outfit well. Rest in peace Ms Duvall and thank you.
So sad, going to miss this Lady.
Love her!!!❤❤❤❤❤
She will always be Olive Oyl to me May she R.I.P. 😿😿
Somewhere in the universe, Gene Shalit is still getting the name of this movie wrong.
She was the perfect choice for the role of Wendy in The Shining. Kubrick was really tough on her and kudos to her for being able to get through it with an excellent performance. RIP Shelley.
RIP Shelley. A great actress (and it’s good she corrected Gene on the film title!).
Love You Shelly
What a beautiful lady. R. I. P
Shelley Duvall was so beautiful and cute 💗 R.I.P 😢🙏

Aww I always liked Shelley Duvall. RIP :(
RIP Shelly. Great performance in so many movies. The Shining will always be a classic.
God bless you for the eternity Shelley Duvall. Family and friends 🙏 From South America.
Shelley Duvall was such a cutie and a great actress!
wow lovely as she is beautiful. I once knew a girl called Melanie Mulholland and she looked very much like Shelly of this age. She went with someone else and I ended it but she sure was sweet looking. Shelly though looks to have been very honest and down to earth and I hope she was glad of her time here
She is sweet as toffee. The interviewer is totally eccentric and quite abrupt but you can tell he respects Shelley and that he likes her :)
Rest in Peace!
I love Shelly ❤️

She was a true star and a great actress- so talented compared to what we have today. She was comfortable in her own skin.
One of the finest actresses ever...
Such a great actress. RIP. She will be missed!
Filming the shining gave her PTSD it broke her mentally as much as a great movie it was Stanley should have been sued for doing that to her no actors should have to be put through mental abuse for any role or any abuse for that matter! R.I.P Shelley may you shine bright now

RIP Shelley. She was so sweet. It's so sad she had to suffer the last few years.
Really? Popeye had bad reviews? My aunt showed us, little ones, that film. We enjoyed it very much so. I guess it’s understandable why grown men would loath it. There were moments where Bruno’s aggression would have seemed a bit much to gentlemen. When I was a child it was frightening.
Rip ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wull miss you shelly....x😢
Poor thing. Her Wendy is iconic though and will be watched and loved for generations to come.
I never heard a bad thing against her. Seemed so sweet and kind. And as a kid back then i took her for granted because I saw her in popeye and she looked just like olive oil and I thought she always looked like that...I was like 12 lol. But looking back she was very pretty and cute at the same time. I am stupid for ever thinking otherwise and I apologize Shelley. RIP to you fine lady.
She was very pretty. Seemed like such a sweet person, and she was so talented
She was great in POPEYE! RIP Shelley!
Love her!
She's so cute here. She looks younger than she did in "The Shining"
Very nice person, all her life.
She will be certainly missed and best remembered in the Shining!
Shelley was more than great in The Shining. RIP dear
she was sooo cute - and hailey friel
Regardless Popeye to a little boy like me was nothing short of amazing seeing cartoons come to life and Time Bandits was definitely ahead of its time. R.I.P beautiful lady.
Pure gal.❤
Time Bandits ❤️
I agree with her about Popeye. I love it. You can see how Tim Burton was visually inspired by that movie.
When I was younger, I didn't realize how pretty she is/was. Wow
She's so adorable
