Nandu News reporter Liu Yifan and intern Lin Ruiyuan According to foreign media reports, American actress, producer, and screenwriter Shelley Duvall died in Deke on Thursday (July 11, local time) due to complications from diabetes. Saskatchewan died at the age of 75.
Shelly Duvall's most well-known work is "The Shining" directed by Stanley Kubrick. Although "The Shining" cemented Duvall's place in film history, it also caused her psychological trauma. It is reported that the film's production cycle lasted more than one year, and there was no script at all in the early stages of filming. The actors' performances and emotions were all improvised and real reactions. In order to present the best film effect, director Kubrick directed Duvall in an almost sadistic way, hoping to capture Duvall's most perfect and true hysterical state. During the filming, Kubrick isolated Duvall from communication with other actors, refused to give her any positive feedback, shot the same scene repeatedly a Guinness-breaking 127 times, and was required to cry for 12 hours a day for several weeks without doing anything. The explanation was to start filming the terrifying "chase" scene and so on.
Duvall said in a 1981 interview with People, "I can't give that much anymore [while filming]. If you want to delve into the pain and call it art, go ahead, but don't Let me do it!" The all-consuming approach to performing in "The Shining" took its toll on Duvall's health, making it impossible for her to continue working in such a demanding format.
In addition to his impressive performance in "The Shining", Duvall also appeared in many classic films such as "Three Women", "Popeye", "Annie Hall" and "The Time Bandits". She is known for her unique image and performance style, and won the Best Actress at the 1977 Cannes Film Festival for "Three Women".

In the mid-1990s, Duvall chose to say goodbye to Hollywood and return to the quiet life in his hometown of Texas. In 2016, she admitted that she struggled with mental health issues. In 2023, the horror movie "Into the Woods" starring Duvall will be released.
On July 11, local time, Duval died in her sleep due to complications from diabetes. Her partner Dan Gilroy told the media: "My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left. She has suffered so much lately, now she is free, beautiful Shelly.”
