Shelley Duvall
Shelley Duvall got her start in Robert Altman films and they helped in getting the attention of Hollywood producers. She then went on to play roles in films such as McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Nashville, Brewster McCloud, Thieves Like Us, and 3 Women, but her roles in The Shining and Popeye were what made her well-known. In the early 2000s, Duvall retired from acting but these days, she still works as a producer for various children’s shows. Back in 2016, Dr. Phil and USA Today called Duvall mentally ill, which captured the headlines.
