The late director - who died in 1999 at the age of 70 - was at the helm of the 1980 classic horror 'The Shining' and following the news that leading actress Shelley Duvall had passed away herself on Thursday (11.07.24), his estate took to social media to remember her.
A post on X read: "Shelley Duvall, legendary character actor, and The Shining’s extraordinary Wendy Torrance has died at the age of 75. Shelley’s career was varied and long. "Despite being dogged with exaggerations of her treatment on set, Shelley was always vocal about her experience filming The Shining saying she “wouldn’t trade it for anything” because “working with loveable Stanley was a fascinating learning experience.
” "Our thoughts are with Shelley’s friends and family." Other big names to pay tribute to the late actress included 'Daisy Jones and the Six' star Riley Keough, who hailed Shelley a 'legend' whilst Rachel Zegler of 'West Side Story' fame simply posted a broken-hearted emoji on social media. The Hollywood star passed away in her sleep at her home in Blanco, Texas, after experiencing complications from diabetes, her long-term partner Dan Gilroy confirmed.
Dan - who was in a relationship with Shelley from 1989 told the Hollywood Reporter:"“My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us. Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley.
" As.
