The Shining. Popeye. Three Women. Time Bandits. Manna from Heaven. One actress starred in all of these amazing films and has one of the most recognizable faces in the movie business. But if you saw Shelley Duvall today, you might barely recognize her because she has changed a lot during the intervening years since she was at the top of her game in Hollywood.
Although images of Duvall from 2022 depict the Hollywood star with the same big eyes and small-lipped mouth, she looks almost unrecognizable. Her hair has thinned, and her skin has aged, which is expected for someone who was born in 1949.
Duvall was born in Fort Worth, Texas, only a few years after World War II ended with the Nazi defeat. From her humble beginnings in her Texas childhood home, Duvall went to Hollywood when she was young and proceeded to crush the movie industry with her talent. She’s an actress who has starred in some of the best movies of all time. However, if you saw her today, you might not recognize her because she has changed a lot over the years. Duvall was born in 1949 and started her Hollywood career at a young age.
In addition to her many major motion pictures, Duvall also appeared in several television shows like Cannon, Baretta, Frog, Nightmare Classics, Frasier, Maggie Winters, and more. She also released two studio music albums called Sweet Dreams and Merry Christmas, which was her only Christmas album.
According to an estimate on LastestInHollywood.com, Duvall’s net worth is estimated at more than $500,000, which is pretty good for anyone who is more than seventy years old.
Duvall has been married three times and has one child from her second marriage. She was married to Bernard Frechtman from 1969 to 1974, Stan Getz from 1977 to 1982, and Danny Elfman from 1984 to 1990.
Duvall has not been in any movies for several years, and it is not known if she plans to make a comeback. She was last seen in the movie Jayne Mansfield’s Car, which was released in 2013.
She has said that she is retired from acting, but she has not ruled out the possibility of making a return to Hollywood if the right project comes along to satisfy her curiosity and needs.
“I miss acting sometimes. I loved it. It was such a great job,” Duvall said in an interview with Closer Weekly. “But I don’t really have the desire to do it anymore. I’m kind of retired. But you never say never — if something came up that I really liked, I might do it.”
Do you think Shelley Duvall should make a comeback?
