‘The Shining’ star Shelley Duvall died at age 75 following complications from diabetes
“My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us,” Dan Gilroy, who has been romantically involved with Duvall since 1989, confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, July 11. “Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley.'The actress was best known for playing Wendy Torrance in 1980’s The Shining alongside Jack Nicholson. Fans will recall the iconic moment when her character escaped her ax-wielding husband, Jack Torrance.
More recently, Duvall looked back on the iconic role with a rare interview in 2021, revealing to the Hollywood Reporter that listening to “sad songs” helped her prepare for the movie’s more emotional moments.'You just think about something very sad in your life or how much you miss your family or friends,” she recalled. “But after a while, your body rebels. It says: ‘Stop doing this to me. I don’t want to cry every day.’ And sometimes just that thought alone would make me cry.
