It's hard to believe that the only nomination she got for The Shining was a Golden Raspberry Award for "Worst Actress". She's amazing.

She’s an artist. I’m sure she tends to be underestimated because nice, sweet people always are.

Shelley, your acting in The Shining had to be one of the most realistic and amazing performances I have ever seen in a movie!

Her smile was captivating. She’s so uniquely beautiful.

She looks even younger here. Hard to believe this was after filming the movie!

I never really noticed exactly how good looking she actually is, I remember as a teen watching the shining on TV and thought she was odd looking, not ugly, just different, now I can see she has one of those looks that's very unique, yep, she's a stunner to me now.

Shelly Duvall is such an underrated actress. She was perfect in The Shining.

SHELLY DUVALL LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL BACK IN THE DAYS

What a heartbreakingly beautiful woman.

Shelley has always been beautiful, inside and out. There's no one to compare her to.

The more I watch _The Shining_ (and I have seen it between 18 and 127 times), the more I appreciate Shelley's role. She's a woman who goes almost invisibly from meek to badass during the course of the film. There is no point which we can definitely identify her making the transition (though the staircase scene with the baseball bat comes close) because it's so organic. And I use the word "badass" deliberately: tell me that the Wendy in the last reel wouldn't have pit herself, knife vs. axe, against Jack to give her son every possible chance to survive. She started the film as an enabler and ended it as a punisher.

I'm astonished at how beautiful this woman is! What a wonderful actress. The Shining is one of my all time favorite films.

I can't imagine anybody else playing that role. She was fantastic and we are still talking about this performance and this movie over 40 years later.

We love you, Miss Shelley Duvall. Thankyou for everything

Kubrick had a reputation of being a very tough director to work with. Shelley Duvall was fantastic in this movie!

Dear Shelley You are so beautiful and your role in The Shinning is a masterpiece.

Sending love and prayers to you Shelly. God bless you

Shelley was simply extraordinary in THE SHINING and also quite brilliant opposite Robin Williams in POPEYE that same year.

Nicholson soaks up all the credit, but Shelly makes the movie. She is amazing

I love her voice in this.

The Shining is probably the best acted movie in history. All performances are brilliant!

what a beautiful lady. i wish her the best

She’s had a such a unique beauty! I could watch her all day .. beautiful eyes and so well spoken

She is spectacular and I'm so happy that she stepped back cause Hollywood can be such a harsh place for great actresses. We love you Shelley 💜🧡🙏🏽

A very underrated actress. She’s brilliant and ethereally beautiful. I wish her health was better ❤️

she is so beautiful and such an amazing actress. one of a kind. .love her

Damn i feel awful for her she really suffered later on. She seemed so well in the interview.

A sensitive soul. The world is quite cruel to the kind ones.

Such an enigmatic, spectral beauty. She is Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas come to life.

So adorably cute. 😊

Interesting what you said about doing multiple takes causing it to become second nature, so that you're no longer concerned with rote memorization but can imbue the scene with nuance. Loved this movie!

Shelley's performance is one of the best ever put to film and the key to unlock the deeper meanings of the shining. I think it is disrespectful to her to think that she regretted doing this movie. The shame is on the critics who were clueless and condemned her amazing performance.

Luminous. It is good to see Miss Shelley posting again.

Poor girl she looked so sweet !

She was such a beautiful girl. 😍

By God Shelley, you are SO charming in this interview!!! Your thoughts are also sensitive and intelligent. Kudos on a wonderful job in a classic film.

I'm sorry that Ms. Duvall had such a rough time on The Shining. I hope she reads these comments, though. IMO, her performance merited accolades. I think all of the lead characters in the film did an absolutely outstanding job. And despite the opinions of critics at the time, the fact that this film has a 40-year track record of being a top thriller movie of all time should speak for itself. As far as Stephen King's criticism of her character (and I love Stephen King too - - he's among my favorite authors) but I think he missed a lot of subtlety in Duvall/Kubrick's onscreen depiction of Wendy Torrance. What I saw was a woman, essentially trapped in a snowbound hell, trying to protect her kid from a man she once loved and trusted while his mind was melting down into complete madness. I thought her character was smart, capable and resourceful. And in the midst of this, she also desperately worked to placate Jack for as long as she could while still trying to make Danny feel protected. His character's resilience also speaks to the strength of Wendy. It's easy to watch a horror flick and say, "I'd do this" but in reality, the character of Wendy was pretty heroic. She didn't even panic with that bat or the knife. I would have been frozen in place. In fact, I learned something from this movie. In a physical confrontation, it's better to keep moving and talking, even if it seems ineffectual, because it might help to keep your reflexes and reactions from tensing up so much that they're useless. Anyway, Ms. Duvall/Wendy is tremendously impressive - - actor and character. And more kudos again to Nicholson, Lloyd and Crothers as well, along with a perfect supporting cast. I love this film. I just hope Shelley Duvall knows how very much her work on it has been appreciated - - if not by 'critics' then by millions and millions of people worldwide. 40 years of devoted fans with new fans discovering this film and being completely bowled over by it every day, should say it all. So yes, Ms. Duvall, if you're reading these comments, please know that your performance was magnificent and that your hard work showed. And speaking for a couple of folks I know that also love this genre, The Shining is among the very top of all of our lists. Be well.

The Shining was an incredible movie and watching it took a lot of energy to adjust to how terrifying it was. I thought you did an excellent performance. You always look so beautiful and effortless.

She was an incredibly talented, beautiful and intelligent actress......so sad how the industry squezeed her outat such a young age and let her drown.

I absolutely love her hair color and style here the best (is this her natural color? I couldn’t stand the strawberry blonde on her, nor permed hair - the silky/shiny straight hair in this video is fantastic!). Make-up is so on point too. The simpleness of the naked eyes with a gorgeous burgundy lipstick makes her skin look so porcelain and flawless. She’s simply stunning here.

I always wanted to know more about Shelly Duvall especially from this movie. Good interview, I never this existed. Her acting was great, that scene where Jack has the ax and chops through the door..her reaction was so real you could feel the horror. Her acting and that movie were a classic.

Lovely woman. And one of the best performances ever.

Shelley Duval is an amazing actress. She’s completely natural and realistic. Stanley Kubrick was smart to hire her for this role 👌💯💥

My heart pounds when I see Shelley Duvall.

Shelley is an awesome actress that is completely underrated!

Totally under rated actress!

She is perfection on how hard she had to work and it is a classic that shows and we will never forget it in her performance hi from texas to Shelly we love you god bless you always.

Sad shelly duvalls life now. Such a great talented actress back then Geez 😢

Beautiful and that voice is one of a kind.

very talented and beautiful lady

She has a kind of naive child like innocence about her what a treasure she is!

shes an angel

Shelly is great!! Always loved her acting. She was excellent in The Shining. 3 Women is another favorite

Oh my...she looks amazing here❤❤❤

She was brilliant in it. Beautiful woman too. Such a shame she suffered with mental illness in later life.

ive been a huge fan of this movie for a long time

Your performance was the glue that held the movie together for me. Reminds me so much of the best people I ever knew who deserved to be treated so much better than they were. Love to all

ahh i love her she's so sweet

Shelly was super cute and she did the most phenomenal acting for a female i've ever seen💞

Oh my gosh, I'm just seeing this now! Thanks for sharing this with us! Love to you, forever and ever! Your performance in "3 Women" is one of the greatest of the 70s (the greatest decade for great performances!). Every time I watch The Shining, all I can see now is how incredible your performance is, every scene. As you say in this interview: the STAMINA. You are finally starting to get the credit for that performance, something people just took for granted for years. PS: If you would have told me in the 70s and 80s that one day I'd be able to directly tell Shelley Duvall how much her work is a part of my life, I'd have scoffed. PSS: Fairy Tale Theatre was the BEST! PSSS: Thieves LIke Us! Annie Hall, oh my gosh, you're so great in that!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Shelley, you're beautiful, amazing and wonderful. We miss you. ❤

Thanks for uploading.

Everything about that movie is incredible! From the acting right through to the scenery, all just incredible. Also truly terrifying! In fact I might have to go watch it 😃

I love you Shelley you are one of a kind!

I love Wendy in the Shining!!! I’m Danny’s age and I think of my mom when I see her performance!

Very cool, thank you for sharing 🙏

The scene "Here's Johnny", at one time held the world record for most takes. I don't know if it still holds that record but it shows how much of a perfectionist Kubrick was. A hell of a director but none the less a perfectionist.

Award worthy performance.

Shelly Duvall in the shining: my favorite acting performance of all time. She was terrified for real, of Kubrick 😂

I love Shelley Duval!!! Beautiful inside and out.

Can anyone image who would have played the part better than Shelley? Amazing fit and performance.

She's so special. My heart breaks for her

Thanks for working so hard on something we all love. I'm thankful if a platform can have you hear that :)

I love her. Really hope she's doing well right now

Thank you

Thanks Shelley

Unbelievably on-point perfection acting on everyone's part. Shelley, you're amazing!!!!

wow you finally rememberd your password

She would've been perfect as a live action Sally in The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Beautiful

love the new content Shelly 😊🤙🖤

She is such a sweet lady

Shelley Duvall I Love You ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

There aren't any allusions or illusions here. This is one hundred percent pure Shelley.

The scenes where she’s talking on the radio to the forest Ranger are my favorite. Inn be live the way she softly says, “Over.”

She was so damn lovely

She sounds so different when she's not playing Wendy! Also, I feel awful for what happened to her. Poor woman.

Wow, Kubrick sounds like he was really difficult to work with! I can't tell if he's offering criticism or telling you that you've completely ruined the role!

Beautiful🙏🏽

so lovely.

Jack stole the show but Shelley did an incredible job to anchor the move and make it believable.

Such a sweet soul.

Shelley 🙌

She’s soooo cuuute ❤️

I remember seeing a video of her literally laying down on set due to exhaustion, both physical and mental I believe, and thinking, "This just don't make em like this anymore."

beautiful!

She was brilliant in that role.

She's so charmingly beautiful.

Masterpiece 👌

She is such a sweetheart
