Sarà l’indimenticabile film di Stanley Kubrick, probabilmente quello al quale il grande pubblico lega l’immagine di Shelley Duvall, a ricordare la grande attrice appena scomparsa, che nel 1980 interpretò la Wendy Torrance di Shining, al fianco di Jack Nicholson (che si racconta la consolasse ogni mattina, quando si trovavano al trucco e lei sfogava la tensione accumulata sul set). L’appuntamento con il dovuto omaggio è per stasera, venerdì 12, alle 23:20, su Sky Cinema Due, e in streaming su NOW.

Shelley was a dear friend & wonderful actress who played quirky/offbeat characters in some great films by Bob Altman. And of course her great performance in Kubrick’s,The Shining.

When I was a boy, I went to the movies to see POPEYE with Robin Williams. A wonderfully strange movie. The moment Shelley Duvall sang “He’s Large” I fell in love with “Olive Oil”. A moment I cherish to this day as a part of my innocent youth. Today Shelley Duvall died and that… pic.twitter.com/ciJ0Lex5Yd

RIP to the truly iconic Shelley Duvall, who burned up the screen in many funny, intense and idiosyncratic roles. I especially loved her in ‘McCabe & Mrs Miller’, ‘Thieves Like Us’, ‘Nashville’, the extraordinary ‘Three Women’, ‘Annie Hall’, ‘Time Bandits’, ‘Roxanne’, her Olive… pic.twitter.com/CeNHV9h0ON

I’m heartbroken to hear about the passing of the beautiful bright Shelley Duvall. Faerie Tale Theatre was a huge part of my childhood, it’s what introduced me to the bright bubbly lovely Duvall. May she find peace, love, and light. pic.twitter.com/jXck2OtCs2
