She has a really interesting balance between beautiful and awkward, and she seemed to effortlessly be able to move between the two without a hint of self-awareness about it. Robert Altman was probably the only director who truly “got” her. I very highly recommend Altman’s *3 Women* to see her at her weird and sexy best.
I was an extra for a movie she was in called Booker, about Booker T. Washington, in the 80’s. We played a bunch of barefoot schoolchildren that had to run into class and then Booker was listening from outside the window. She was so sweet, entertaining all of us kids in between takes. It was shot in historic Columbia, CA and most of my classmates and several others from our town were cast as extras. It was great. Good food from the craft services trucks and we got paid about 40-50 a day. I was finally able to track down a VHS copy of the movie and unfortunately, I was left on the cutting room floor. Such fond memories, tho.
Can’t see Shelley without thinking of The Shining. Looking lovely Shelley.

It’s interesting. Classically beautiful women with no interesting features? They just kind of run together, all the same. You never remember them.
But women with unique feature(s)? Memorable. Sigourney Weaver’s jawline. Anya Taylor-Joy’s eye distance, Shelley Duvall teefs of course.
Probably why the beauty mark near the eye or mouth is so oldest school cliche. Same kind of thing.
Loved her bed time stories.
Maureen Ponderosa?
Danny’s not here, Mrs. Torrance!!!!!
She’s like the lady equivalent of Steve Buscemi.
She received alot of criticism of her performance in The Shining but her acting seems amazingly real while Jack Nicholson’s is not always convincing.
She was such a blast in Popeye
Hi i’m shelley duvall
I’ve always thought she’s had an almost luminous beauty about her – the pale skin, bright eyes. She’s lovely.
Unconventional beauty, but stunning imo. She looks *genuine* to me.
Always thought she was very beautiful
I don’t care what anyone thinks she was hot
She is gorgeous yet awkward, like a person with social anxiety yet tries to make an effort to fit in.
Mia Goth stole her look.
I think she was so attractive
The Steve Buscemi of the 70s and 80s. A very popular and unique/unusual looking character actor.
She gets such a bad rap. She was so pretty.
In 1977 she co-starred with Sissy Spacek in “3 Women”. Check it out if you’re a fan of hers.
I thought she was terrific in that movie and she was quite attractive. The character she played was very odd but it really showed off her talent.
She’s a rare and curious kind of beaut. She’s definitely an alluring woman in my book.

She was incredible in The Shining. I’ll die on that hill. She deserves so much better, to say the very least.
Seeing her on Dr Phil was damn depressing…
She will always be one of the most beautiful women I ever saw.
I met her about a year ago while filming something in Blanco, TX. She was very sweet, even offered me and a friend one of her hostess snacks
