Dave trying to catch her out on the science stuff, and Shelley very eloquently and politely not having it. RIP

Yeah, that was weird and not all that pleasant. It didn't seem like genuine interest.

I think he was just trying to be funny, but his general awkwardness made him seem something else negative.

What a sweetie! Dave was not on form, really quite awkward but she kept smiling and chatting, really unpretentious. RIP Shelley,, sweet soul, only recently passed

He must have been nervous or something

Possibly a little bit embarrassed that he hadn’t had her on before this was my thought.? By this time she had been in some delicious movies and had several influential friends, including Teri Garr. One of Dave’s flames.

She was smarter and sexier than people give her credit for. Amazing eyes. She had a one off personality. She was a hell of an actress. She got destroyed and back stabbed by so many, and screwed on her health later in life. I wish her well and Godspeed. RIP beautiful Shelly.

Sorry, but I don't think Shelley'd appreciate being called "Olive Oyl". She was teased and taunted as a child by bullies who called her Olive Oyl. She didn't even want to do the movie role because of it, but she forged ahead anyway at the urging of director Robert Altman. The least you can do is show enough respect to remember her for who she was, not just a character she portrayed. RIP SHELLEY DUVALL!
