A Passion for Acting and More

Born on July 7, 1949, in Fort Worth, Texas, Shelley initially had aspirations of becoming a research scientist. She even attended South Texas Junior College to pursue her dream. However, she also had a keen interest in food. Little did she know that her true calling lay in the world of acting.

Hollywood and Beyond

In the mid-1990s, Shelley made the big move to Hollywood, California, marking the beginning of her successful acting career.

Additionally, in 1984, she was honored with a Peabody Award for her TV show “Faerie Tale Theatre.”

Brave Battle with Mental Illness

In November 2016, Shelley bravely opened up about her struggles with mental illness on the popular talk show “Dr. Phil.” During the show, she courageously pleaded, “I am very sick. Help me please.” While her vulnerability touched many, some criticized the episode for being exploitative and cruel.

A Peaceful Departure

Shelley Duvall sadly passed away due to complications from diabetes. Her partner, Dan Gilroy, shared the heartbreaking news, revealing that she died peacefully in her sleep at home in Blanco, Texas. With tender words, he said, “My sweet, wonderful, dear life partner and friend left us. Too much pain lately, she’s free now. Fly away, pretty Shelley.”
