During an interview with Gene Shalit on TODAY on Nov. 10, 1981, actor Shelley Duvall opens up about why working on 'The Shining' was 'extremely difficult.'
Shelley Duvall may have left the Hollywood spotlight behind decades ago, but her life at home was filled with love thanks to her longtime partner, Dan Gilroy. Gilroy confirmed “The Shining” star’s death on July 11 at age 75 in a phone call with NBC News. Gilroy, 77, said Duvall, who retired from acting in 2002 only to pop onscreen again in 2023’s “The Forest Hills,” had been in hospice care for several months. She died shortly after midnight at the couple's home in Blanco, Texas.
I really felt loved. Sometimes I’d write sad songs and he’d sit there and cry. Very sweet,' she added. Their relationship was the focus of the 2019 docu-drama 'Madonna and the Breakfast Club.' Duvall and Gilroy met in 1989 Duvall met Gilroy in 1989 as she was gearing up to film the 1990 Disney TV musical “Mother Goose Rock ‘n’ Rhyme,' the actor told the Los Angeles Times in 1991.
