Shelley said she enjoyed working with Altman because he trusted her and gave her interesting roles.
Shelley’s most famous role was in the horror movie “The Shining,” directed by Stanley Kubrick. She played Wendy Torrance, the wife of a writer who goes mad and terrorizes his family.
The filming was very hard on Shelley, and she once said she cried for 12 hours a day for weeks. One scene with Jack Nicholson took 127 takes to get right.
Besides “The Shining,” Shelley appeared in Woody Allen’s “Annie Hall” (1977) and played Olive Oyl opposite Robin Williams in “Popeye” (1980).
In the 1980s, she also worked on children’s shows.
Shelley met her partner, Dan Gilroy, while working on the 1990 Disney Channel movie “Mother Goose Rock ‘n’ Rhyme.”
Gilroy, a musician, expressed his sadness over her passing, saying, “My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us. Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley.”
