SIDE NOTE, PLEASE READ: I am aware of the fact that Vivian Kubrick is, very unfortunately, a rampant Q*n*n fanatic who has openly supported the Pr*ud B*ys, and has shamelessly spread a*tis*mitic conspiracy theories. By quoting her here, I am in no way endorsing or supporting Vivian as a person, and I am extremely disappointed that she has fallen into this trap of hateful, harmful rhetoric. However, even a broken clock is right twice a day-her criticism towards Dr. Phil and her defense of Shelley is powerful, admirable, and most of all, the truth. Regardless of her beliefs, I still feel that her words here are important. I do hope she eventually finds truth in other aspects of her life and in the lives of others, and recognizes the harm she’s causing by aligning herself with these groups. EDIT: since a few people have asked-no, that is NOT an AI Shelley you’re hearing! Julie Meghan Brown is just an incredibly talented actor who absolutely nailed Shelley’s voice and I couldn’t thank her and the other voice artists more for helping this video truly come to life ❤️
You & the rest of us who live to maintain the Safety & Peace deserve better too. You need to hear from a victim of vile "holy" child abuse who is not religious & studied The Bible & the history of "We love God" empires, nations & leaders since 15. I am now 65 and have been appealing to leaders, media, stars & influencers since 2000. "The Abomination" label was put on gay men by the Roman Catholic Papacy that omits what the "male lying with the male" means and, evidently, the LGBTQ Elites don't mind & have no intent of actually teaching what "the abomination" means. The Bible is not to be literalized per the "dead letter" revelation. You have far more power online than I will ever have. I've been appealing to popes, kings, queens & leaders since 2000. Why this global silence from people making money griping & moaning about the racism, Anti-Jew, Anti-Gay, Anti-Women, wars & genocides? "The Jew"& "The Gentile" are not to be labels defining types of literal humans by way of their ancestry or religion but are terms 100% about character over all else. Do you live to circumcise or cut-away or abort rising desires to hurt others before giving them life and instead finding the solution that does no harm? I enjoy you & your videos so much. Please consider learning about the ancient problem source & ancient solution that, if ever taught to mankind, initiates peace on earth. This older video gives a long, partial list of the many to whom I've appealed starting 24 years ago. This is the Biblical solution that involves no further hate-building or violence. I won't put the link here but the video is titled: WHY “THE JEWS” ARE NOT “RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE TROUBLES OF THE WORLD” ENDS ANTISEMITISM & WAR. Love to you & your family & friends, from Reno, Nevada. Stay well.

I love this site & the many folks exposing the hypocrisies before us, but there is a solution, one that has been kept unspoken for a reason.
Jack Nicholson himself said he's never seen an actor work so hard or endure so much as Shelley did on the set of The Shining. That says quite a bit about what she went through. Jack's been in a lot of movies and worked with a lot of people over the years.
There was that Shelley Duvall Archive fanpage that slowly got to befriend Shelley in late 2022. It's been the only case of something like that happen that didn't make me feel weird to think about, cuz the person running it was a girly zoomer who did girly stuff and embraced it unironically, and she let Shelley be a girl when they hung out til the very end.
@@sarlukowski I love that you were there to be a friend to her and not to exploit her for internet points. People like you give me hope, thank you for being kind and caring.
@@sarlukowski you see where I'm getting at tho, from what you've shown us you've made the last 2 years of her life much nicer, AND BOY HOWDY WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT YOU EITHER DIE A HERO OR YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE YOURSELF BECOME MUPPET HISTORY
There is, not was, the shelley duval archive www.youtube.com/@shelleyduvallxo But, yes in general we live in a patriarchal society, and women still. love men despite the rape, torture, and murder that is normal representing the greatest atrocity of all time, continuing to this day.
i’m shocked dr phil never got sued for practicing medicine/psychiatry without a license… that exchange with shelley where he says “that’s why i’m here to help”, it just screams lawsuit imo
Shelly was amazing and such a bright, gentle spirit. The way men treated her was absolutely putrid, and it still depresses me to think about. It's unfathomable that someone so graceful and gorgeous would be called "ugly". RIP Queen 🖤✨️
Shelley Duvall played such a big part in my childhood. I grew up watching the Faerie Tale Theatre series as a kid and to this day, it's still such a comfort series for me. Even just seeing her face gives me so much comfort because she always had such a warm presence and a sweet demeanor. I normally don't mourn celebrities, but Shelley was a special one and she'll always hold a place in my heart. RIP. ❤
Shelley was living her life the way she wanted. She wasn't hurting anyone. Somebody (curiosity seeker?) found her living in rural TX. She was brought back into the public, not knowing or realizing what internet culture is like now. People criticized her. For EVERYTHING. They still are. Many interviews I've seen show her seemingly happy to have been in a movie again and also seemingly happy to have people come and talk to her. I am glad for any happiness she found through this. Otherwise, people should really be quiet about everything else. She was a beautiful human.
I remember seeing the ad for the Dr. Phil interview with my mom (a social worker) in the room. The Dr. Phil show was henceforward banned in our household lol
In a moment where the entirety of UA-cam is capitalizing on the never-ending Mr. Beast drama, I think it is so admirable that you made a (respectful) video on Shelley because I've barely seen anything on UA-cam really talking about her since her passing. Love your dialogue as always!
You left out one of the most heartbreaking things about her later years, and I don't blame you. When she went back to Texas, she was basically living out of her car. Someone noticed her a few years ago, and went up to talk to her, and of course, put it up on UA-cam. This led to many people seeking her out, and like you mentioned, she was so nice that she'd talk to everyone. Double Toasted, which is a channel based outside of Austin, covered it, and the main guy who runs the channel (Korey) mentioned he wanted to go visit her and say hi, but that he didn't want to exploit her any further. It's just the saddest story for someone who deserved so much better in life.
Shelley has been such an icon, even when she didn't want to be (especially given the pressure). She was pulled around by feckless men who didn't give a damn about her, just their art, and she *still* made her own art, despite them. RIP, queen-- you deserved a kinder world
Take 3 could have been perfect for all we know. A truly good director has the ability to recognize gold when they see it, and I suspect Kubrick passed a BUTTLOAD of gold just to satisfy his own ego. When you’re a perfectionist, at some point “I can do better” becomes a lie you tell yourself because your inner critic won’t shut up. That critic isn’t looking for quality, it just wants to work you until you drop. Inflicting that on other people is sick.
@tankiegoku That doesn't mean the film had to be or should have been made this way. Putting your actors through this much of an emotional wringer "for the sake of the performance" means that you don't trust these professional actors to act convincingly unless you force them into a similar headspace to the character. We don't know which takes were really the best. If take 6 is perfect then there's seriously no reason to continue until take 136. And Shelley Duvall really didn't need this "extra help." She had frequently worked with Robert Altman by the time she made The Shining, and while Altman had a _very_ different way of directing actors to Kubrick, that way still speaks to her skill as an actor. Duvall making up her own lines for Three Women may have been Queen Shit, but it was also standard operating procedure for an Altman film - his style emphasized improv, spontaneity and naturalism, so the actors had a lot of responsibility for the overall direction and narrative of the film and the development of their characters. She clearly knew her shit. She didn't need to actually be put in the same position as Wendy Torrance to give a convincing performance.
@tankiegoku Tbh, if a director has to do that to get a good performance out of an actress, that's a skill issue on the part of the director and doesn't speak to talent, but to incompetence
Thank you for this video Queen, Shelley was my moms cousin, i never knew her but every family anicdote paints a picture of a deeply sweet, empathetic and talented human that always struggled. The family put it down to being "artsy" but we now know mental illness can manifest in many ways. Thanks again for taking the time to do this tribute, i bet Shelley would have Loved your take and then she'd have tried your makeup look.
I think that something that really shows what a great person Shelley Duvall was is how she and the fan who runs a fan twitter of her became friends. It feels like she was one of those people who was truly everything people think and hope their hero/favorite celebrity is.
I am 45 and Shelly Duvall will always be my celebrity crush. I am truly deviated by how she was spit out by Hollywood. Your video couldn’t be titled better she deserved better.
I adored shelley since i was a child i loved her movies and tv shows i even wrote her a birthday card just before she passed away 😔 she was so special truly one of a kind she can never be replaced
Shelley's role in The Shining always gave me a lot of strength and resolve when things were bad at home growing up. Her death was like learning someone who'd babysat you as a child had passed on. She absolutely deserved much better. Thank you for this :)
Shelley Duvall was such a gentle soul I don't think we'll ever see anyone like her again, there was an energy to her that I've not seen with other actresses
I recently watched popeye and thoroughly enjoyed her in it. I started a shelley marathon and keep finding her roles fully underappreciated. I didn't even know she passed before this video
I saw the title of the video and I just screamed at the top of my lungs: "SHE DID!!" Thank you queen! I've been obsessed with you since UA-cam recomended me your video of the "Real Friends of WeHo" like a month ago. (for like the first 10 minutes of that video I was CONVICED you were a woman)
I actually have a tattoo of Jack's face sticking through the hole in the door saying "Here's Johnny!" The Shining is my favorite movie and novel of all time. Thank you for making this video with such a lovely perspective on a woman who deserved so much more. ♡
Aww, thank you for giving props for my favorite Texas girl. I'm in Houston, and I will always remember absolutely breaking down and bawling in my kitchen during Hurricane Beryl with no power when my friend texted me and told me that she died. She always reminded me of my gangly-yet-glamorous mom who also worked cosmetics counters in the 80s ❤
Growing up, I really loved older movies and the shining was a big interest of mine. At age 14 I'd tell my parents about Duvals experience filming the movie. And my dad said some misogynistic comment about it. Made me see my dad for the pig he often is. Anyhoo loving the content!!
Do we have the same dad? My dad claimed she was a self-described whiny victim who should he *lucky* to work with such a genius auteur like Kubrick. Ughhhh
@@sonofaspyder3000 Glad mine is worm food now. To his credit, he did use my chosen name and pronouns before he died... but that is all I can say he did that didn't suck hahah
I'm a makeup artist (with no following lmao) and you're the person to finally convince me to give drag a try. Gotta just get over my fear of failing horribly and do crap more 😂 Loving this look! ❤
IMO, your "tasteless" joke was very clear and straightforward, and you do not need to apologize for it. Especially when re-phrasing it would have taken the bite out of the delivery.
Yessss, I am SO glad to see this covered!! "Bedtime Stories" was an integral part of my childhood. Me and my mom ADORED Shelly for her gorgeous, etherally strange doe-eyed 60's style. Her and Lilly Tomlin where absolute Icons!
What he did to Shelley was basically torture, it is like working retail and being on the bus and starting to cry thinking "I must be dead and this is my personal hell. Why do I have to do this everyday? What did I do so badly that this is my karma?"
@tankiegirl oh please. Don't be deliberately obtuse just because you favorite asshole is on the line. Hundreds of takes to exhaust the actors, mistreatment to make her more scared(this was told be Shelley and other cast members)... those are abusive actions. His movies may be good, but his behavior is abhorrent. Like, not only you have this shit, motherfucker had to be sued to pay the author of the music of Odyssey... HE STOLE THE MUSIC THAT MADE THAT MOVIE. And making Lolita a love story is... creepy. His movie is creepy, and not for the reasons it should have. I don't care how good this dick cinematography is, he was not a good director🤷♀️
She was always an actress who struck me in such a unique way. The entire universe was built for the moment that she stepped into the shoes of Olive Oil. Plus, she's one of my favorite parts of Roxanne, as well.
The fact that Kubrick is still continuously celebrated after the way he treated her makes me sick. And not only was he awful to her on the Shining set, but the fact that he left out the redemptive final chapter of A Clockwork Orange because it didn't fit the little narrative he was trying to push has always left a bad taste in my mouth.
People are willing to make any excuses and abuse as many people as they need to to make their "masterpiece" and people will defend it Kubrick treated her horribly and it's hard to watch a lot things these days knowing what these people did. Like how Marlon Brando sexually assaulted women When it comes to a clockwork orange, Kubrick based the movie on the American book release which didn't have the last chapter because American publishers didn't like that the protagonist goes back to being a criminal I feel like I can't consume anything without supporting or promoting someone horrible. I can see why people try to block it all out and try not to think about it
Agreed. And in terms of a Clockwork Orange, I believe the author sent Kubrick the final chapter for him to read when he learned they were making a film based on the book. So Kubrick had easy access to it, but decided “Nah.”
This is such a nice video. I only knew about Shelley from her role in The Shining and Kubrick's mistreatment of her during production. It's really beautiful and kind of you to honor her with something like this. The world needs more of this kinda stuff, lifting others up. In that spirit, I think it should be illegal for so much fabulosity to be contained within a single individual (you). Save some glamour for the rest of us, please.
When I first watched the shining(not know anything about shelley duvall) I remember the whole time not being able to take my eyes off of her and to be the actor that stays in my mind when you are performing next to Jack Nicholson is a hard thing to do. And she'll be forever in my mind, RIP Shelley
I don't know that the self-callout was necessary. I think it was acknowledging, in a darkly humorous way, what she actually DID go through. If it had reflected on HER negatively, then, maybe, but any scorn arising from that joke is directed at Kubrick, and he EARNED it.
Oh dang! I just stumbled upon you today and was experiencing the joy of devouring a newly-discovered channel's awesome back catalog and then I'm graced with a BRAND NEW ONE?? Truly blessed. Love the channel!
Just found Queen a few days ago myself and she'd quickly become my favorite commentary channel on UA-cam. Just going through the catalog of videos has me looking forward to future topics and her takes on them. I find her to be criminally undersubbed for her content's quality. Side note just for fun, I'm a 34 year old hetero male, a demographic which is probably not the target audience, nevertheless I have thoroughly enjoyed these videos.
Once they figure out time travel I'm going to enact humorus and cruelly ironic pranks on Stanley Kubrick, such as blocking his trailer door shut with an obsidian obelisk
I feel she was autistic like me. The “manic pixie dream girl” thing is very much a stereotype of undiagnosed autistic people assigned female. I was described in all these same ways, and I am hugely creatively intelligent but have been ignored because I couldn’t pass math class and now I can’t do typical labor. I believe many autistic people end up unhoused unless their actual, non-conforming skills have a place somewhere. Shelly was said to have ended up living in her car for a time later in her life once she wasn’t in the public eye. It’s disgraceful how uniquely minded people are praised when they’re useful to others, then cast aside once they need anything at all in return. People will enjoy the benefit of you without ever actually going deep enough to understand you or to care about you. Too many unhoused or disenfranchised geniuses (code for autism I believe). That is why this world does not change.
You cannot tell me that the cruelty that Shelley Duvall was put through wasn't punishment for her being a talented kind women. Unkind people will absolutely destroy anyone who is kind. And I'm willing to bet my remaining paychecks that's EXACTLY what happened.
"Imagine if Ingmar Bergman went to a Desert town in California and made his version of 'Single, white, female'." That's seriously the best describtion of "Three women" I've ever heard.
21:00 This literally happened to me. My ex and I were cast as co-leads in a big play at South Coast Repertory, and he dumped me on opening night. Literally while we were in the green room waiting for call time. We were playing a married couple. The rest of the cast kept glaring at him from the wings when he was on stage, lol.
Omg this was an awesome surprise- this was a beautiful tribute to Shelly❤! I personally didn’t take offense to that joke because I definitely vibed with the sentiment behind it and was frankly an excellent reminder of what she went through - I have a feeling our girl would’ve liked it. And Fairy Tale theater is AMAZING!!
Fairytale theatre was done so well .They were a joy to watch growing up .Shelley made that show and how many amazing actors and actresses,were guests on that show .Shelley was very innovative and before her time in many instances.Thank you for this content.🍀
❤Thank you. I was born in the late 70’s and Shelley was Always a part of my life. I have 3 trans kids who have all learned some self respect, ideas of honor, dignity, creativity, and sincerity from Duval. So, just…thank you.
Thank you for this video. Shelley deserves all her laurels . Thank you also for calling out "Dr." Phil This man has been on my shit list ever since he came to my town for a charity event that he boasted about on his show. Aside from the actual footage from the event, the stock footage he showed made us look like the most backward, uneducated barefoot hillbillies ever to exist.
I was a child in the 80s and grew up on Faerie Tale Theater Shelly’s work was just a lovely part of my childhood I still look back on fondly. It’s so nice to see someone praising her work
Love this video. Shelley Duvall was radiance personified. A small role I loved her in was Roxanne. She was just so warm and natural as Dixie. Everyone deserves a friend like Dixie.
I didn't take your Shelly joke as being in bad taste when I watched that video because I instantly understood it was not meant to punch down, but I can definitely see how a lot of people would take it that way and I thought your apology was very sweet. The Shining is one of my favorite horror movies but it's hard not to cringe while watching knowing that the real horror was behind the scenes. I'm glad Shelly seemed to forgive and move on, couldn't be me.
Thank you for highlighting Shelley Duvall ❤. I was excited as a little girl she's from Texas (Texas born and bred) and her beauty so amazing, her look is too adorable. Her acting is out of the world but when she left the Hollywood scene I wondered where she was and back in Texas living in peace. She did her last horror movie in 2022. I miss her very much 😢
I'm so appalled to hear about her treatment in Hollywood and by Dr. Phil, I really didn't know up until know. The fact that all of her solo projects were light-hearted kids media just goes to show how gentle of a spirit she had... yet a really strong spirit at the same time with an insane dose of dignity. I would cuss out every and anyone who would dare give me even a crumb of the treatment she endured. Also I cannot fathom the backhanded "compliment" on her beauty?? She was made for 70s makeup looks, her headshot photographs are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen because her eyes uniquely pop and the look in her eyes just conveys her inner elegance. Rest in peace.
Faerie Tale Theatre was such a huge part of my childhood. Shelley deserved better. She was so much more than her trauma and schizophrenia. Glad you discussed this.
I haven't seen anyone say anything like this about Shelley Duvall yet and by gods did it need to be fucking said. Everything I have ever seen of her in interviews has been nothing but kind, humble, and so real. Thank you again for the great content. Massive props for your accountability as well. As always, stunning look.
Always felt so bad for her. I love Kubrick and all his films, but how he treated her on set was so horrible. Reading about it in a kubrick film book made me cry at points. EDIT: "Shelly brought an easy unpretentious energy to everything she did..." If you wrote thst yourself you have a real talent, you completely captured her aura and what i love about her. She reminds me of my mum so much, maybe why I've always loved her
the shining would not be the enduring classic it is without Shelley. That moment on the stairs is one of the scariest scenes in movie history. I am terrified for her character in that moment. Her performance in that movie is transcendent. It would be a ridiculous mess without her character to ground it. She never got the credit she deserved and considering what she suffered on that set... that's a fucking tragedy.
100%. She’s the highlight of the movie for me and I HATE how she was treated on set and it definitely makes the movie less enjoyable knowing the behind the scene things.
Been obsessed with Shelley since childhood. My favorites, in order: 3 women, Popeye, Shining , Fairytale Theater. She is the embodiment of the Goddess and had to battle the Patriarchy her whole life. The Tibetian Book of the dead states when someone dies near their birthday (Shelly passed in July and she is the astrology sign Cancer) it’s a sign the beloved person’s soul has transcended and leveled up.
Been saying this for years. 😢 Popeye was my grandpa's favorite movie. He couldn't really speak good English because he's from Puerto Rico. But my word, he LOVED some Popeye. Shelly is the only Olive Oyl for me.
"The method acting that pays my bills keeps the fat man feeding in Bevereley Hills / I gotta heavy metal mouth / that hurls obscenities / and I get my check from the trash treasury / because I took my own insides out." that song makes me sad enough to cry in a movie.
The Showbusiness is a hard and unfair game. You not the winner If you the most talented or nicest but the most unscrupulous. This is why Elon Musk Jeffree Star and Donald Trump have so much power
How in the seven hells have i just found out about your channel!!?? Now i have to binge watch every damn video with your gorgeous personality on it. Love your content, Queen!
I respect Stanley Kendrick for what he wanted to tell in his stories-stories that made you think about what was going on in the world in way Spielberg never could, but…with seeing the shining behind the scenes, I am reminded of Carlton Fisk’s HOF speech when he spoke of his dad. To paraphrase: “dad, you pushed me, you rarely gave me positive criticism, I couldn’t be here without you…BUT …couldn’t you praise me once…?” Kubrick, Jack, and the crew really went too far. And yes Stan has always been hard on his team, and it helped the film, but why treat a person as if they fucked up?
Love and admiration for the Queen herself, Coke Francis. (With that said) Even though Ads may help run the channel -everytime the Metallica/Yousician Ad pops up on my UA-cam I’m reminded once again that Rock n Roll is dead.
Shelly I was first enchanted by back when I was a kid and saw her in The Brewster Movie, I always found her energy so calming and feminine beauty incarnate. Holy sh*t I just noticed the Mox's Sign in the background!
I think even if she tried to call Kubrick out for what he did to her, the media would have labelled her as difficult. And I think most of us know where that gets your career when you're not a white man. God forbid a woman not tolerant being mistreated by their boss.
Wow.... I probably knew more than most about SD but still learned a LOT here! Normally I'd feel a little sad that your video didn't challenge/change my previous conclusions, but you added so much depth to her and reinforced some ideas that I knew I had accepted from coworkers largely on faith. Any truly fact-based deep dive often shows me where I've mistakenly accepted someone's narrative (an awesome experience, coming to learn where oneself was wrong). Yet this time I'm thrilled that, while you have adjusted much of my understanding, my biggest take-away is that you reinforced the one idea that I had hoped would prove true: that Shelley was at least as awesome a person as I had originally heard from so many people who worked with her.
As a kid (54 now) Popeye was on HBO all the time. I watched and rewatched it. That movie is beautiful. I actually rewatched a few years ago and it holds up wonderfully. Its just so cute, weird, and gorgeous. Anywho, that movie always left a soft spot for her. That Dr Phil shit was just vile.
I'm happy to hear something a little more positive towards the Popeye movie. I liked it as a kid, but learning that it wasn't well received or that it had a lot of dislikes and stuff when i went to film school, that made me feel bad and weird. Like something was wrong with me for liking it. But in later years after leaving realizing said critics or whatever i was looking at could get it wrong a lot, I appreciate it a lot more. I definitely need to give it a watch again. I love the music.
I’m at that point of watching your channel where I’ve seen everything and patiently waiting for new uploads and that makes me sad in the best way possible.😭
I adore Shelley Duvall, grew up watching Faerie Tale Theater (my favorite episode was The Snow Queen) I never got why anyone ever treated her like shit she was a treasure
I didn't really know about Shelley Duvall-- this tribute was beautiful and educational. It also takes a lot to own up to joke made in poor taste. You truly are a Queen among drag artists.
Hearing she was judged for being too thin reminds me the pre twiggy world was different. I think its a shame we apparently still cant have multiple body types that are fine simultaneously but its wild to hit her for that when the difference between her and whoever that critic thought was beautiful genuinely probably came down to bone structure.
My far too often stated opinion about the difference between the book and film of The Shining. The book is about alcoholic scared he'll hurt his family. The film is about a family scared an alcoholic will hurt them. The infamous cigarette ash scene is probably the best example of this as Duvall plays the scene as someone desperately trying to convince herself that her husband hurting Danny was an accident.
SIDE NOTE, PLEASE READ: I am aware of the fact that Vivian Kubrick is, very unfortunately, a rampant Q*n*n fanatic who has openly supported the Pr*ud B*ys, and has shamelessly spread a*tis*mitic conspiracy theories. By quoting her here, I am in no way endorsing or supporting Vivian as a person, and I am extremely disappointed that she has fallen into this trap of hateful, harmful rhetoric.

Regardless of her beliefs, I still feel that her words here are important. I do hope she eventually finds truth in other aspects of her life and in the lives of others, and recognizes the harm she’s causing by aligning herself with these groups.
EDIT: since a few people have asked-no, that is NOT an AI Shelley you’re hearing! Julie Meghan Brown is just an incredibly talented actor who absolutely nailed Shelley’s voice and I couldn’t thank her and the other voice artists more for helping this video truly come to life ❤️

She was so hot in annie hall.
Jack Nicholson himself said he's never seen an actor work so hard or endure so much as Shelley did on the set of The Shining. That says quite a bit about what she went through. Jack's been in a lot of movies and worked with a lot of people over the years.
There was that Shelley Duvall Archive fanpage that slowly got to befriend Shelley in late 2022. It's been the only case of something like that happen that didn't make me feel weird to think about, cuz the person running it was a girly zoomer who did girly stuff and embraced it unironically, and she let Shelley be a girl when they hung out til the very end.
Aw, that's so sweet.
Ohh hiii that’s me I’m laughing at the “girly zoomer” remark which is fair
@@sarlukowski I love that you were there to be a friend to her and not to exploit her for internet points. People like you give me hope, thank you for being kind and caring.
@@sarlukowski you see where I'm getting at tho, from what you've shown us you've made the last 2 years of her life much nicer, AND BOY HOWDY WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT YOU EITHER DIE A HERO OR YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE YOURSELF BECOME MUPPET HISTORY
There is, not was, the shelley duval archive www.youtube.com/@shelleyduvallxo But, yes in general we live in a patriarchal society, and women still. love men despite the rape, torture, and murder that is normal representing the greatest atrocity of all time, continuing to this day.
i’m shocked dr phil never got sued for practicing medicine/psychiatry without a license… that exchange with shelley where he says “that’s why i’m here to help”, it just screams lawsuit imo
Dr Phil is a pig. He also exploited Sinéad O'Connor. (And everyone else who was ever on his show, for that matter.)
Shelly was amazing and such a bright, gentle spirit. The way men treated her was absolutely putrid, and it still depresses me to think about. It's unfathomable that someone so graceful and gorgeous would be called "ugly". RIP Queen 🖤✨️
She was different. She wasn't the standard cookie cutter "beauty." But she was beautiful, in an eclectic way.
Shelley Duvall played such a big part in my childhood. I grew up watching the Faerie Tale Theatre series as a kid and to this day, it's still such a comfort series for me. Even just seeing her face gives me so much comfort because she always had such a warm presence and a sweet demeanor. I normally don't mourn celebrities, but Shelley was a special one and she'll always hold a place in my heart. RIP. ❤
Shelley was living her life the way she wanted. She wasn't hurting anyone. Somebody (curiosity seeker?) found her living in rural TX. She was brought back into the public, not knowing or realizing what internet culture is like now. People criticized her. For EVERYTHING. They still are. Many interviews I've seen show her seemingly happy to have been in a movie again and also seemingly happy to have people come and talk to her. I am glad for any happiness she found through this. Otherwise, people should really be quiet about everything else. She was a beautiful human.
Oh. I didn't realize the curiosity seeker who hunted her down was the 2016 exploitive interview by you know who.
I remember seeing the ad for the Dr. Phil interview with my mom (a social worker) in the room. The Dr. Phil show was henceforward banned in our household lol
Sinead didn't have a good experience with him either, and she needed the help.
He's a real-life monster.
In a moment where the entirety of UA-cam is capitalizing on the never-ending Mr. Beast drama, I think it is so admirable that you made a (respectful) video on Shelley because I've barely seen anything on UA-cam really talking about her since her passing. Love your dialogue as always!
I’m so glad I don’t watch or care even remotely about MrBeast.

@@TheGamer2001are you dick-riding mr beast? 😂😂😂
You left out one of the most heartbreaking things about her later years, and I don't blame you. When she went back to Texas, she was basically living out of her car. Someone noticed her a few years ago, and went up to talk to her, and of course, put it up on UA-cam. This led to many people seeking her out, and like you mentioned, she was so nice that she'd talk to everyone. Double Toasted, which is a channel based outside of Austin, covered it, and the main guy who runs the channel (Korey) mentioned he wanted to go visit her and say hi, but that he didn't want to exploit her any further. It's just the saddest story for someone who deserved so much better in life.
Shelley has been such an icon, even when she didn't want to be (especially given the pressure). She was pulled around by feckless men who didn't give a damn about her, just their art, and she *still* made her own art, despite them. RIP, queen-- you deserved a kinder world
Take 3 could have been perfect for all we know. A truly good director has the ability to recognize gold when they see it, and I suspect Kubrick passed a BUTTLOAD of gold just to satisfy his own ego. When you’re a perfectionist, at some point “I can do better” becomes a lie you tell yourself because your inner critic won’t shut up. That critic isn’t looking for quality, it just wants to work you until you drop.
Inflicting that on other people is sick.
@@heidiperry6022 He did it purposely to torment Shelley and get that distressed performance out of her. It was terrible for him to do.
@tankiegoku That doesn't mean the film had to be or should have been made this way. Putting your actors through this much of an emotional wringer "for the sake of the performance" means that you don't trust these professional actors to act convincingly unless you force them into a similar headspace to the character.
We don't know which takes were really the best. If take 6 is perfect then there's seriously no reason to continue until take 136. And Shelley Duvall really didn't need this "extra help." She had frequently worked with Robert Altman by the time she made The Shining, and while Altman had a _very_ different way of directing actors to Kubrick, that way still speaks to her skill as an actor. Duvall making up her own lines for Three Women may have been Queen Shit, but it was also standard operating procedure for an Altman film - his style emphasized improv, spontaneity and naturalism, so the actors had a lot of responsibility for the overall direction and narrative of the film and the development of their characters. She clearly knew her shit. She didn't need to actually be put in the same position as Wendy Torrance to give a convincing performance.
I left theater because of a wannabe Kubrick within her niche.
Perfectionists are so tiring.
Art vs artist. No doubt kubrick was an asshole. No doubt he was also a genius. @@dismurrart6648
@tankiegoku
Tbh, if a director has to do that to get a good performance out of an actress, that's a skill issue on the part of the director and doesn't speak to talent, but to incompetence
Thank you for this video Queen, Shelley was my moms cousin, i never knew her but every family anicdote paints a picture of a deeply sweet, empathetic and talented human that always struggled. The family put it down to being "artsy" but we now know mental illness can manifest in many ways. Thanks again for taking the time to do this tribute, i bet Shelley would have Loved your take and then she'd have tried your makeup look.
I think that something that really shows what a great person Shelley Duvall was is how she and the fan who runs a fan twitter of her became friends. It feels like she was one of those people who was truly everything people think and hope their hero/favorite celebrity is.
I am 45 and Shelly Duvall will always be my celebrity crush. I am truly deviated by how she was spit out by Hollywood. Your video couldn’t be titled better she deserved better.
EVERYONE WAKEUP OUR FAVORITE DRAG QUEEN POSTED !!!
I adored shelley since i was a child i loved her movies and tv shows i even wrote her a birthday card just before she passed away 😔 she was so special truly one of a kind she can never be replaced
Shelley's role in The Shining always gave me a lot of strength and resolve when things were bad at home growing up. Her death was like learning someone who'd babysat you as a child had passed on. She absolutely deserved much better. Thank you for this :)
This is both a Shelley Duvall appreciation video, and a Stanley Kubric call out video.
Shelley Duvall was such a gentle soul I don't think we'll ever see anyone like her again, there was an energy to her that I've not seen with other actresses
I recently watched popeye and thoroughly enjoyed her in it. I started a shelley marathon and keep finding her roles fully underappreciated. I didn't even know she passed before this video
I saw the title of the video and I just screamed at the top of my lungs: "SHE DID!!"
Thank you queen! I've been obsessed with you since UA-cam recomended me your video of the "Real Friends of WeHo" like a month ago. (for like the first 10 minutes of that video I was CONVICED you were a woman)
I actually have a tattoo of Jack's face sticking through the hole in the door saying "Here's Johnny!" The Shining is my favorite movie and novel of all time. Thank you for making this video with such a lovely perspective on a woman who deserved so much more. ♡
Aww, thank you for giving props for my favorite Texas girl. I'm in Houston, and I will always remember absolutely breaking down and bawling in my kitchen during Hurricane Beryl with no power when my friend texted me and told me that she died. She always reminded me of my gangly-yet-glamorous mom who also worked cosmetics counters in the 80s ❤
Growing up, I really loved older movies and the shining was a big interest of mine. At age 14 I'd tell my parents about Duvals experience filming the movie. And my dad said some misogynistic comment about it. Made me see my dad for the pig he often is.
Anyhoo loving the content!!
Do we have the same dad? My dad claimed she was a self-described whiny victim who should he *lucky* to work with such a genius auteur like Kubrick. Ughhhh
😭

IMO, your "tasteless" joke was very clear and straightforward, and you do not need to apologize for it.
Especially when re-phrasing it would have taken the bite out of the delivery.
Right? I think people need to be reminded what she went through and I didn’t think it was offensive like at all.
@@EdenW-uq2ifExactly!
Yessss, I am SO glad to see this covered!! "Bedtime Stories" was an integral part of my childhood. Me and my mom ADORED Shelly for her gorgeous, etherally strange doe-eyed 60's style. Her and Lilly Tomlin where absolute Icons!
What he did to Shelley was basically torture, it is like working retail and being on the bus and starting to cry thinking "I must be dead and this is my personal hell. Why do I have to do this everyday? What did I do so badly that this is my karma?"
@tankiegoku That is why I likened it to my experience working retail. May not seem "that bad" unless you are the one on the other side
@tankiegirlGirliepop why are you in several comments defending his behaviour. Stanley is not going to pay you.
@tankiegirl did those things happen?
@tankiegirl not what I asked.
Are the testimonials from the set that those things happened?
@tankiegirl oh please. Don't be deliberately obtuse just because you favorite asshole is on the line.
Hundreds of takes to exhaust the actors, mistreatment to make her more scared(this was told be Shelley and other cast members)... those are abusive actions.
His movies may be good, but his behavior is abhorrent. Like, not only you have this shit, motherfucker had to be sued to pay the author of the music of Odyssey... HE STOLE THE MUSIC THAT MADE THAT MOVIE.
And making Lolita a love story is... creepy. His movie is creepy, and not for the reasons it should have.
I don't care how good this dick cinematography is, he was not a good director🤷♀️
She was always an actress who struck me in such a unique way. The entire universe was built for the moment that she stepped into the shoes of Olive Oil. Plus, she's one of my favorite parts of Roxanne, as well.
The fact that Kubrick is still continuously celebrated after the way he treated her makes me sick. And not only was he awful to her on the Shining set, but the fact that he left out the redemptive final chapter of A Clockwork Orange because it didn't fit the little narrative he was trying to push has always left a bad taste in my mouth.
I do not like Kubrick in the slightest and honestly never did
People are willing to make any excuses and abuse as many people as they need to to make their "masterpiece" and people will defend it
Kubrick treated her horribly and it's hard to watch a lot things these days knowing what these people did. Like how Marlon Brando sexually assaulted women
When it comes to a clockwork orange, Kubrick based the movie on the American book release which didn't have the last chapter because American publishers didn't like that the protagonist goes back to being a criminal
I feel like I can't consume anything without supporting or promoting someone horrible. I can see why people try to block it all out and try not to think about it
Agreed. And in terms of a Clockwork Orange, I believe the author sent Kubrick the final chapter for him to read when he learned they were making a film based on the book. So Kubrick had easy access to it, but decided “Nah.”
to be fair in regards to clockwork orange, should someone like alex delarge even be redeemed? i almost feel like that was a better choice
I will never not be infuriated by what he did to Lolita
This is such a nice video. I only knew about Shelley from her role in The Shining and Kubrick's mistreatment of her during production. It's really beautiful and kind of you to honor her with something like this. The world needs more of this kinda stuff, lifting others up.
In that spirit, I think it should be illegal for so much fabulosity to be contained within a single individual (you). Save some glamour for the rest of us, please.
Shelley was a treasure for sure. Watching her “He Needs Me” scene in Popeye shatters my heart. She was a sweet woman.
When I first watched the shining(not know anything about shelley duvall) I remember the whole time not being able to take my eyes off of her and to be the actor that stays in my mind when you are performing next to Jack Nicholson is a hard thing to do. And she'll be forever in my mind, RIP Shelley
My God I adore your look, and I loved Shelley Duvall.
I don't know that the self-callout was necessary. I think it was acknowledging, in a darkly humorous way, what she actually DID go through. If it had reflected on HER negatively, then, maybe, but any scorn arising from that joke is directed at Kubrick, and he EARNED it.
YOU LOOK STUNNING YOUR MAJESTY!!! And thank you for informing more people about our past queen Shelley Duvall 🤍
How do their fits go so hard? I swear I'm in love with this channel in like three different ways
Oh dang! I just stumbled upon you today and was experiencing the joy of devouring a newly-discovered channel's awesome back catalog and then I'm graced with a BRAND NEW ONE?? Truly blessed.
Love the channel!
@@TheAndreasf85 I discovered this channel yesterday, similar feels here
Just found Queen a few days ago myself and she'd quickly become my favorite commentary channel on UA-cam. Just going through the catalog of videos has me looking forward to future topics and her takes on them. I find her to be criminally undersubbed for her content's quality.
Side note just for fun, I'm a 34 year old hetero male, a demographic which is probably not the target audience, nevertheless I have thoroughly enjoyed these videos.
I met her at a convention she was very sweet 😊
Once they figure out time travel I'm going to enact humorus and cruelly ironic pranks on Stanley Kubrick, such as blocking his trailer door shut with an obsidian obelisk
I feel she was autistic like me. The “manic pixie dream girl” thing is very much a stereotype of undiagnosed autistic people assigned female. I was described in all these same ways, and I am hugely creatively intelligent but have been ignored because I couldn’t pass math class and now I can’t do typical labor. I believe many autistic people end up unhoused unless their actual, non-conforming skills have a place somewhere. Shelly was said to have ended up living in her car for a time later in her life once she wasn’t in the public eye. It’s disgraceful how uniquely minded people are praised when they’re useful to others, then cast aside once they need anything at all in return. People will enjoy the benefit of you without ever actually going deep enough to understand you or to care about you. Too many unhoused or disenfranchised geniuses (code for autism I believe). That is why this world does not change.
You cannot tell me that the cruelty that Shelley Duvall was put through wasn't punishment for her being a talented kind women. Unkind people will absolutely destroy anyone who is kind. And I'm willing to bet my remaining paychecks that's EXACTLY what happened.
Who was unkind to her?
She was an awesome actress who should always be remembered
The Faerie Tale Theatre episode of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was an essential part of my gay childhood.
"Imagine if Ingmar Bergman went to a Desert town in California and made his version of 'Single, white, female'." That's seriously the best describtion of "Three women" I've ever heard.
21:00 This literally happened to me. My ex and I were cast as co-leads in a big play at South Coast Repertory, and he dumped me on opening night. Literally while we were in the green room waiting for call time.
We were playing a married couple. The rest of the cast kept glaring at him from the wings when he was on stage, lol.
Omg this was an awesome surprise- this was a beautiful tribute to Shelly❤!
I personally didn’t take offense to that joke because I definitely vibed with the sentiment behind it and was frankly an excellent reminder of what she went through - I have a feeling our girl would’ve liked it.
And Fairy Tale theater is AMAZING!!
Fairytale theatre was done so well .They were a joy to watch growing up .Shelley made that show and how many amazing actors and actresses,were guests on that show .Shelley was very innovative and before her time in many instances.Thank you for this content.🍀
❤Thank you. I was born in the late 70’s and Shelley was Always a part of my life. I have 3 trans kids who have all learned some self respect, ideas of honor, dignity, creativity, and sincerity from Duval. So, just…thank you.
I always imagined that Shelly was swinging that bat at Kubrick in that stair scene
Thank you for this video.
Shelley deserves all her laurels .
Thank you also for calling out "Dr." Phil
This man has been on my shit list ever since he came to my town for a charity event that he boasted about on his show.
Aside from the actual footage from the event, the stock footage he showed made us look like the most backward, uneducated barefoot hillbillies ever to exist.
I was a child in the 80s and grew up on Faerie Tale Theater
Shelly’s work was just a lovely part of my childhood I still look back on fondly. It’s so nice to see someone praising her work
Love this video. Shelley Duvall was radiance personified.
A small role I loved her in was Roxanne. She was just so warm and natural as Dixie.
Everyone deserves a friend like Dixie.
I didn't take your Shelly joke as being in bad taste when I watched that video because I instantly understood it was not meant to punch down, but I can definitely see how a lot of people would take it that way and I thought your apology was very sweet. The Shining is one of my favorite horror movies but it's hard not to cringe while watching knowing that the real horror was behind the scenes. I'm glad Shelly seemed to forgive and move on, couldn't be me.
Dark humor has literally kept me alive.
Thank you for highlighting Shelley Duvall ❤. I was excited as a little girl she's from Texas (Texas born and bred) and her beauty so amazing, her look is too adorable. Her acting is out of the world but when she left the Hollywood scene I wondered where she was and back in Texas living in peace. She did her last horror movie in 2022. I miss her very much 😢
I'm so appalled to hear about her treatment in Hollywood and by Dr. Phil, I really didn't know up until know. The fact that all of her solo projects were light-hearted kids media just goes to show how gentle of a spirit she had... yet a really strong spirit at the same time with an insane dose of dignity. I would cuss out every and anyone who would dare give me even a crumb of the treatment she endured. Also I cannot fathom the backhanded "compliment" on her beauty?? She was made for 70s makeup looks, her headshot photographs are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen because her eyes uniquely pop and the look in her eyes just conveys her inner elegance. Rest in peace.
Beautiful essay & video 🖤 Thank you for honoring Shelly this way! She’s an icon 🖤
The sound of your voice makes me feel like the Grinch, as my heart grows to 10 times its original size.
I'm going on record for loving Shelly Duvall since Mother Goose Rock n' Rhyme, which I watched many many times as a child on the Disney Channel.
I subscribed within the first 3 seconds, thank you for that
I watched a ton of Shelly’s Fairytale Theater when was a kid and wish it was on streaming so kids today could enjoy the show too. Shelly was a gem ❤
Faerie Tale Theatre was such a huge part of my childhood. Shelley deserved better. She was so much more than her trauma and schizophrenia. Glad you discussed this.
I haven't seen anyone say anything like this about Shelley Duvall yet and by gods did it need to be fucking said. Everything I have ever seen of her in interviews has been nothing but kind, humble, and so real.
Thank you again for the great content. Massive props for your accountability as well. As always, stunning look.
I'm so glad that now I found my new favorite content creator. Francis, you are amazing!
Always felt so bad for her. I love Kubrick and all his films, but how he treated her on set was so horrible. Reading about it in a kubrick film book made me cry at points.
EDIT: "Shelly brought an easy unpretentious energy to everything she did..."
If you wrote thst yourself you have a real talent, you completely captured her aura and what i love about her. She reminds me of my mum so much, maybe why I've always loved her
that line came from my incredible co-producer ❤️
the shining would not be the enduring classic it is without Shelley. That moment on the stairs is one of the scariest scenes in movie history. I am terrified for her character in that moment. Her performance in that movie is transcendent. It would be a ridiculous mess without her character to ground it. She never got the credit she deserved and considering what she suffered on that set... that's a fucking tragedy.
100%. She’s the highlight of the movie for me and I HATE how she was treated on set and it definitely makes the movie less enjoyable knowing the behind the scene things.
It’s such an overrated movie, the book is much better and Stephen King himself hated Kubrick’s adaptation
It’s because of Shelley and her role in Frankenweenie that Tim Burton found out about Pee-Wee and got both of their careers off the ground!
She did! I've been saying this for years to anyone who would listen. She was classy and a damn good actress.
Been obsessed with Shelley since childhood. My favorites, in order: 3 women, Popeye, Shining , Fairytale Theater.
She is the embodiment of the Goddess and had to battle the Patriarchy her whole life.
The Tibetian Book of the dead states when someone dies near their birthday (Shelly passed in July and she is the astrology sign Cancer) it’s a sign the beloved person’s soul has transcended and leveled up.
i remember watching the shining the first time as a teenager. duvall immediately stood out and she left a big impression on me
Been saying this for years. 😢 Popeye was my grandpa's favorite movie. He couldn't really speak good English because he's from Puerto Rico. But my word, he LOVED some Popeye. Shelly is the only Olive Oyl for me.
Beautiful tribute. It's shocking the way people treated her, they should be deeply ashamed of themselves for that, she deserved so much better.
"The method acting that pays my bills keeps the fat man feeding in Bevereley Hills / I gotta heavy metal mouth / that hurls obscenities / and I get my check from the trash treasury / because I took my own insides out." that song makes me sad enough to cry in a movie.
The Showbusiness is a hard and unfair game. You not the winner If you the most talented or nicest but the most unscrupulous. This is why Elon Musk Jeffree Star and Donald Trump have so much power
How in the seven hells have i just found out about your channel!!??
Now i have to binge watch every damn video with your gorgeous personality on it.
Love your content, Queen!
Shelley deserved an oscar for the Shining..
I respect Stanley Kendrick for what he wanted to tell in his stories-stories that made you think about what was going on in the world in way Spielberg never could, but…with seeing the shining behind the scenes, I am reminded of Carlton Fisk’s HOF speech when he spoke of his dad. To paraphrase: “dad, you pushed me, you rarely gave me positive criticism, I couldn’t be here without you…BUT …couldn’t you praise me once…?”
Kubrick, Jack, and the crew really went too far. And yes Stan has always been hard on his team, and it helped the film, but why treat a person as if they fucked up?
Stanley kendrick
Love and admiration for the Queen herself, Coke Francis.
(With that said) Even though Ads may help run the channel -everytime the Metallica/Yousician Ad pops up on my UA-cam I’m reminded once again that Rock n Roll is dead.
Shelly I was first enchanted by back when I was a kid and saw her in The Brewster Movie, I always found her energy so calming and feminine beauty incarnate.
Holy sh*t I just noticed the Mox's Sign in the background!
I think even if she tried to call Kubrick out for what he did to her, the media would have labelled her as difficult. And I think most of us know where that gets your career when you're not a white man. God forbid a woman not tolerant being mistreated by their boss.
Wow.... I probably knew more than most about SD but still learned a LOT here! Normally I'd feel a little sad that your video didn't challenge/change my previous conclusions, but you added so much depth to her and reinforced some ideas that I knew I had accepted from coworkers largely on faith. Any truly fact-based deep dive often shows me where I've mistakenly accepted someone's narrative (an awesome experience, coming to learn where oneself was wrong). Yet this time I'm thrilled that, while you have adjusted much of my understanding, my biggest take-away is that you reinforced the one idea that I had hoped would prove true: that Shelley was at least as awesome a person as I had originally heard from so many people who worked with her.
As a kid (54 now) Popeye was on HBO all the time. I watched and rewatched it. That movie is beautiful. I actually rewatched a few years ago and it holds up wonderfully. Its just so cute, weird, and gorgeous.
Anywho, that movie always left a soft spot for her. That Dr Phil shit was just vile.
As a teen, I had a huge crush on her daughter Clea Duvall who played in The Faculty.
Not her daughter
She’s called Clea DuVall (capital V) and she’s not Shelley’s daughter.
I'm happy to hear something a little more positive towards the Popeye movie.
I liked it as a kid, but learning that it wasn't well received or that it had a lot of dislikes and stuff when i went to film school, that made me feel bad and weird. Like something was wrong with me for liking it. But in later years after leaving realizing said critics or whatever i was looking at could get it wrong a lot, I appreciate it a lot more. I definitely need to give it a watch again. I love the music.
I’m at that point of watching your channel where I’ve seen everything and patiently waiting for new uploads and that makes me sad in the best way possible.😭
I adore Shelley Duvall, grew up watching Faerie Tale Theater (my favorite episode was The Snow Queen) I never got why anyone ever treated her like shit she was a treasure
I almost didn’t click this video. My only exposure to Shelley was the Dr. Phil interview. Now I’m gonna go watch some of her work.
I didn't really know about Shelley Duvall-- this tribute was beautiful and educational. It also takes a lot to own up to joke made in poor taste. You truly are a Queen among drag artists.
Accidently opened this video. But loved it .watched it till end. Good commentary video .
I've absolutely fallen in love with the channel. Really enjoy your take on things and the looks are always stunning.
A Clockwork Orange is easily in my top 3 of all time. We are tribe. Will be binging all your videos this week.
Hearing she was judged for being too thin reminds me the pre twiggy world was different.
I think its a shame we apparently still cant have multiple body types that are fine simultaneously but its wild to hit her for that when the difference between her and whoever that critic thought was beautiful genuinely probably came down to bone structure.
My far too often stated opinion about the difference between the book and film of The Shining. The book is about alcoholic scared he'll hurt his family. The film is about a family scared an alcoholic will hurt them.
The infamous cigarette ash scene is probably the best example of this as Duvall plays the scene as someone desperately trying to convince herself that her husband hurting Danny was an accident.
I always considered her to be a great beauty in addition to being a brilliant actress!
