Shelley Duvall mini-bio: Director Robert Altman discovered the gifted, gangly Shelley Duvall while she was attending college in Houston, TX and promptly cast her in her debut film Brewster McCloud (1970). She went on to make seven movies in all with Altman, from the sublimely brilliant Nashville (1975) and 3 Women(1977), for which she won both a Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Award and an L.A. Film Critic's Association Award, to the ridiculous big screen cartoon bomb Popeye (1980), in which she starred as Olive Oyl opposite Robin Williams. Duvall showed herself particularly adept at playing kooky waifs and characters for whom everything goes wrong, like the trusting wife of Jack Nicholson's deteriorating writer in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980). Among her many fine performances for television was her role in Joan Micklin Silver's "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" for PBS' "Great American Short Story" series, considered by many the best adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald to the screen. Duvall's work as a TV producer of children's shows has nearly eclipsed her fine acting career. She formed her own company, Platypus Productions, in 1982 and proceeded to create and executive produce two award-winning series for the cable network: "Faerie Tale Theater", comprised of 26 star-studded episodes, and "Shelley Duvall's Tall Tales and Legends", nine tales of American folk heroes. In 1988, she founded Think Entertainment, and has also produced for PBS, TNT, The Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and the three major networks.
