We were saddened to hear yesterday about the death of Shelley Duvall, the actress who left such a lasting impression with her performances in films like Nashville (1975), The Shining (1980), and Popeye (1980). There was an immediate outpouring of touching tributes to her online, and some of them mentioned that in later life, Duvall had struggled with mental health problems and had bravely talked about it publicly.
