With the death of Shelley Duvall, a fan remembers the late 75-year-old actress with a selfie published on her last visit, where she brought a bouquet to the star of «The Shining» for her birthday on Sunday, July 7.
«I heard the news about Shelley Duvall. I’m okay. Shelley had been struggling with her health for the past few months, and I often visited her. I will always be grateful for the memories I created with her, and for being able to bring her comfort and company», - noted @sarahlovesthat.
The user continued: «This photo was taken last Sunday on her 75th birthday. She was so grateful, and as I was leaving, she thanked me for lifting her spirits. I will always remember this. She had such a positive impact on my life, as I did on hers».
The Hollywood actress peacefully passed away on Thursday, July 11, in her sleep. As reported by NBC News, her partner Dan Gilroy said that the star had been in hospice care for the past few months due to her struggle with diabetes.
Her husband, according to Variety, said: «My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us last night. Too much suffering lately, now she is free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley».
Although she began her career in 1970 with the debut film «Brewster McCloud», - she became known for her major role in «Nashville», - for which she received the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival.
Despite her success, she told People magazine in an interview in 2023 that life was not always easy and pleasant. «You weren’t paid much — just scale plus 10 percent… They thought women would just get married, and the husband would support them. But that doesn’t happen to everyone», - she expressed.
She even told The New York Times in April of this year: «I was a star; I had leading roles… People think it’s just aging, but it’s not. It’s violence… How would you feel if people were really nice, and then suddenly, in a moment» — she snapped her fingers — «they turned against you? You would never believe it until it happened to you. That’s why you suffer, because you can’t really believe it’s true»
