@simonandschusterbooks: What would THE SHINING be without its scream squeen? Put some respect on her name. #BookTok #horrormovie #theshining #shelleyduvall #horrortok
Unsung? I literally know who she is because of her role in that movie and how often people talk about it. It would be wild to me if she’s unsung in people’s minds.

I think she looks stunning in that movie. Like yea, when she’s like screaming and crying she doesn’t look like a beauty queen but that’s the point.

Porpentina (Tina) :
He was abusive to her the whole film. Nobody stood up for her. I believe she was afraid of Jack Nicholson.

David Belenky :
She is the heartbeat of the film. It doesn't work without her. Jack's great but he's so over time top, you wouldn't buy it for a second if she wasn't reacting to him. Its a masterclass in scene sparing. She never got the respect she deserved. Kubrick was a genius but also a prick.

Excuse me, she was a Final Girl to me. Isn't that not the thesis of the story? Did I miss something? She is the hero, hello?

She was the star of that film. Her physicality is so eerie. It’s wild to me that anyone thinks she was anything less than extraordinary.

I don’t know if we have really dissected her character in the movie as much as we should have. Shelly was playing an abused spouse who was throughout the movie trying to protect her son. In all of her scenes we see the abuse spouse and how she constantly walks on eggshells for Jack. I think seeing this in movies at the time was too early for society and only now we feel comfortable to discuss such things.

She was brilliant! I love her, and she was NOT WEAK. She was the heroine of the movie, she saves herself and her son.

Tbf, he treated all of his actors poorly during his ‘process.’

She didn’t get enough mention for getting fully into character. One of my first on screen female crushes was on her. I saw the movie waaaaaay too young and this beautiful lady was suffering to save her kid. Her pain is so obviously real.

I would love to see a biopic of the making of The Shining from Shelley’s POV.
