The actress Shelley Duvall, star of films such as The Shining, Time Bandits, and 3 Women, has died at the age of 75 in her home in Blanco (Texas), due to complications from her diabetes. Her partner, director and screenwriter Dan Gilroy, announced the news, which was picked up by media outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter.

“My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend has left us. Too much suffering lately, she is free now. Fly away, beautiful Shelley.”was the message that Gilroy dedicated to him and that was picked up by the North American newspaper.

The high point of Duvall’s career came in 1980 when, alongside Jack Nicholson and under the direction of Stanley Kubrick, starred in the legendary horror film “The Shining.” Later, he devoted himself to the world of television production, which earned him two Emmy Award nominations for his series Fairy Tales and Great Tales and Legends.

In recent years, Duvall had come to the fore for his physical health problems, which have cost him his life, and mental health. She admitted to this in 2016 and even asked for help on television, saying that she felt “very sick.”
