You know you're getting old when they play all the music you grew up with at the grocery stores now, and when all the actors you knew when you were little are passing on.

Kubrik really screwed with her head.
I watched a YouTube video about Kurbik and Duval's relationship during the filming of 'The Shining'. It really did put perspective on sheer and genuine horror she displayed during the "Here's Johnny!" scene.

RIP, Shelley.
Yep, that's a warning that Father Time is zeroing in on your location! [Reply]

Yup, I have the docu about the making of it and he tortured her with all kinds of tactics like 100+ takes of the same scene... all to make her a nervous wreck, and therefore get exactly the performance he wanted from her
Shelley was great. Nashville, The Shining, McCabe and Mrs Miller, Roxanne, Popeye, etc…. Kubrick put her through absolute hell on The Shining, but damned if she didn’t put in maybe the performance of her career. The terror and total exasperation were palpable. Poor woman had a rough ride the past couple decades, but hopefully she’s in a better place on the next journey, so to speak. RIP. [Reply]
