      Possibly a little bit embarrassed that he hadn’t had her on before this was my thought.? By this time she had been in some delicious movies and had several influential friends, including Teri Garr. One of Dave’s flames.

      Sorry, but I don't think Shelley'd appreciate being called "Olive Oyl".
      She was teased and taunted as a child by bullies who called her Olive Oyl. She didn't even want to do the movie role because of it, but she forged ahead anyway at the urging of director Robert Altman. The least you can do is show enough respect to remember her for who she was, not just a character she portrayed.
      RIP SHELLEY DUVALL!
