Shelley Duvall, a talented American actress, has died at the age of 75. Her partner, Dan Gilroy, confirmed her passing, stating that she died peacefully in her sleep at their home in Blanco, Texas, due to complications from diabetes.
Duvall had a remarkable career in Hollywood, beginning with her debut in the 1970 dark comedy “Brewster McCloud.” She went on to win the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival for her role in the 1977 drama “3 Women.” Her notable performances also include starring alongside Robin Williams in the musical version of “Popeye” and her iconic roles in “The Shining,” “Annie Hall,” and “Nashville.”
After a two-decade hiatus from the screen, Duvall made a comeback in 2023 with her appearance in “The Forest Hills.” Her passing marks the end of an era, and she will be deeply missed by her fans and the film industry. Dan Gilroy remembered her as his “dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend,” saying she is now “free” from her suffering.
