Shelley Duvall, Star of ‘The Shining’ and ‘Nashville,’ Dies at 75
Her lithesome features and quirky screen presence made her a popular figure in 1970s movies, particularly Robert Altman’s.
Ms. Duvall wasn’t planning on a film career when she met Mr. Altman while he was filming «Brewster McCloud» (1970); she had thrown a party to sell her husband’s artwork, and members of his film crew were in attendance. Taken with her, they introduced her to Mr. Altman, a director with his own reputation for oddball movies and offbeat casting. He immediately asked her to join the cast, despite her lack of training.

Shelley Duvall, a beguiling face of 1970s film, dies at 75
Beginning in 1970, when she made her screen debut in Robert Altman’s black comedy «Brewster McCloud,» Ms. Duvall established herself as one of the most versatile and distinctive performers of the «New Hollywood» era. She had no acting training or experience, but it hardly seemed to matter: At a time when Altman and other directors were making personal, idiosyncratic films that ran counter to the studio mold, she represented a new kind of leading lady, winning over viewers with her doe eyes, lilting voice and naturalistic style.

Shelley Duvall obituary
Toothpick-thin with bingo-ball eyes, a Modigliani face and a tremulous, broken-doll voice, Shelley Duvall, who has died aged 75, would have been an unforgettable screen personality at any point in history. That she began acting in the 1970s, when the unorthodox and the eccentric enjoyed a brief window of opportunity in US cinema, was fortunate. Falling into the orbit of the maverick director Robert Altman was even luckier.
Altman said she could «swing all sides of the pendulum: charming, silly, sophisticated, pathetic – even beautiful». She became part of his unofficial repertory company, appearing in seven of his films.

Die Berührbare
Wer die ganze Dimension des menschlichen Horrors auf der Leinwand spiegeln will, muss ihn in einem menschlichen Gesicht spiegeln. Oder besser noch, in einer menschlichen Seele. Shelley Duvall war dieses Gesicht, und sie war diese Seele, die es Stanley Kubrick ermöglicht hat, das bis heute nicht fassbare Grauen in seinem legendären Meisterwerk «The Shining» zu entfesseln. Sie ging damit in die Kinogeschichte ein und bezahlte einen hohen Preis.
Tobias Kniebe
Ihr Mienenspiel, ihr Raumgefühl
Ihr größter Augenblick: das war natürlich die Szene in «Shining», in der sie sich in einem Badezimmer des Overlook Hotels eingeschlossen hat, um Jack Nicholson zu entkommen, der mit einer Axt auf die Tür einschlägt, während sie mit einem Steakmesser in der Hand dahinter steht – die Schreie, die sie dabei ausstößt, haben Filmgeschichte geschrieben, weil sie die Krönung einer unvergesslichen Symphonie des Schreckens waren, zusammen mit ihrem von Panik entstellten Gesicht.
