Hello, I'm Shelley Duvall.

Hello, I’m Shelly Duvall.

How is that YouTube vid not the official ringtone for DL? Or is it and I just wasn't aware until now?

Hello. I'm Shelley Duvall.

Homegurl's crazy, right? I feel awful about how she was treated during filming of "The Shining."

Why don't *I* get my own thread???

Because you’re a fucking bitch and everyone hates you, R5.

How’s that movie stardom going for ya?

I wonder what really happened to Duvall neurologically /psychiatrically. Usually these types of debilitating mental illnesses strike in early adulthood but she seemed to be OK up until late middle age. Is anyone she knew in Hollywood still in contact with her?

OP. I love you. Just what I needed on a Sunday night. I truly spit out my drink at about the fifth or sixth one. I hereby put you in my Will.

No, I'M Shelley Duvall!!

I’m Liza with a “Z” !

Why don't I get my own thread? Hello!!

I'm the original Shelley, bitches.

Hello, I'm Shelley Fabares. I had a #1 Hit Song!!

Hello, I'm the remix

Shelley should do ASMR videos. She has nice, soothing voice.

You better stop it, Connie Chung!

I have such a soft spot for her. Has she been officially diagnosed as schizo? She could have delusional disorder, which often develops later in life (and commonly in those that live alone) and has symptoms of extreme paranoid delusions. Just a thought.

She lives out in the Texas Hill Country. I have a weekend home in the same town where she lives. I've seen her at the grocery store twice. She's fat now, with stringy long gray-ish hair, clearly chain smokes, and has the car of a hoarder.

And, she seems completely harmless and should be left alone.

🙁

R18 so maybe extreme drug use (would explain why she was SO thin) and then once she goes off — goes fat AND crazy? Surprised she still smokes, though.

She couldn’t have made very much money with her acting but wouldn’t she have made some decent money producing the Fairie Tale Theatre?

How Dare You!!

Dr. Phil was a real asshole for cornering her on national TV and trying to humiliate her, and he received a huge backlash for doing that.

Stanley Kubrick emotionally abused her on the set of The Shining. He's a real piece of shit.

R6, very well, thank you. Or have you never seen Troop Beverly Hills? .... Ok, ok, that was a poor example.

I feel sorry for Shelley Long, too. She made a bad decision and has paid for it ever since. Then her husband leaves her and she attempts suicide.

She was great on Cheers, regardless what you feel about her.

R5 Bette Midler

R6 I mean ^^^

Shelley Long was great in the Brady Bunch films. She also showed good comedic instincts in other films. She could have easily carried a sitcom by herself.

I read a thread not long ago about Valerie Cherish being based on Shelley Long. Michael Patrick King did a sitcom eith her in the 90s and I guess she had a nervous breakdown during it? That could just be a rumour. I've always liked Shelley Long as well, and mental illness of any kind is no joke.

What amazes me is that Ms. Duvall manages to that line 100 times in the same tone and cadence.

R17 I had never heard of delusional disorder, that's interesting. Her case just seemed so unusual to me. I hope she has some sort of friend or support system in TX. Mentally ill people are ripe for exploitation.

[quote]and has the car of a hoarder

I would've expected a pumpkin coach and four white horses.

R30, that is an interesting rumor. I always loved Shelley Long, still do. But I can remember when I was visiting Hollywood in 2005 or 2006, and I was working out at the Burbank YMCA and two industry guys were talking about her suicide attempt, and that she was so desperate to continue working as an actress that it ended her marriage. It made me feel sorry for her. She is so talented but you can also see why she has a reputation for being high strung and challenging to work with.
