"Shapeshifting?"
Is she crazy or just honest?
While you probably know her best from "The Shining" (1980) or "Popeye" (1980), Shelley Duvall today hardly resembles the actor who portrayed Wendy Torrance and Olive Oyl, respectively. While her looks are certainly different — as one might expect for a woman in her 60s — the more stunning transformation has been a mental one. Since her retirement in 2002, Duvall has apparently lived the life of a recluse at her home in Blanco, Texas.
When asked where she thinks her "Popeye" co-star Robin Williams is today during an episode of "Dr. Phil," Duvall replied, "shapeshifting," (via Pop Crush). She indicated that she still sees him sometimes (Williams passed away in August of 2014), and also shared some other troubling revelations — including delusions involving a man she calls the "Sheriff of Nottingham."
While Dr. Phil pledged to help Duvall with her mental health, not everyone was thrilled about her appearance on the show. In an open letter, Vivian Kubrick — daughter of The Shining director Stanley Kubrick — condemned Dr. Phil and his show for using Duvall for his viewers' entertainment. In a now-removed tweet, Kubrick called on others to join her in boycotting the show (via Pop Crush). Duvall later chimed in on the topic herself during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "I found out the kind of person he is the hard way," Duvall said, referencing the exploitative interview with Dr. Phil. "My mother didn't like him, either. A lot of people, like Dan, said, 'You shouldn't have done that, Shelley.'"
