Friends Worry About Mental Health of "The Shining" Star

Posted: August 27th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Friends Worry About Mental Health of The Shining StarSubmit Comment
Friends and neighbors are coming forward about the mental state of Shelley Duvall, who co-starred opposite Jack Nicholson in "The Shining" and Robin Williams in "Popeye."

Several Blanco, Texas residents have voiced their concerns for the actress because she spends night after night patrolling her backyard, convinced her home is a portal for aliens.

One local told the Globe, "Shelley is such a tragic soul. I feel terrible for her and wish someone could step in and do something. She desperately needs help."

Many have spotted the 60-year-old Duvall, who hasn't acted since 2002, flashing her car lights in a bid to communicate with extra-terrestrials and "wandering around town... looking disheveled, strange and totally crazy."

Another local said, "She mutters to herself and talks about aliens living in her body."

And a local hardware supplier added, "One time she came in and asked for dirt and boards to block up a hole in her backyard because, she said, 'That's a portal into another dimension. That's where the aliens are coming in.'"

See what happens when you work with Robin Williams.

You mean BLANCO Texas, right?

"she spends night after night patrolling her backyard, convinced her home is a portal for aliens."

She must be very confused. Her house is no where near the Rio Grande.

The star of 'Dreams in the Attic' has got toys in the attic.
Ranger writes:
on August 27th, 2009 at 6:53:15 AM

Or dust bunnies in her attic named Harvey.

Friends think she needs help isn't really GETTING her help.

What she needs is a kick to the snapper and a punch to the head with the words: 'SMARTEN THE FUCK UP CRAZY LADY!' into her ear with a bullhorn!

What a news day. One story about a nut that starred in 'Popeye', and another story about a guy that got popped in the eye.

Lohan that's an EYE sore!
minkowski writes:
on August 27th, 2009 at 7:18:19 AM

Oh yeah, she'll defintely make your eye sore. The one eye that doesn't see.
VDODSON writes:
on August 27th, 2009 at 8:14:13 AM

Lol, she's gone nutz. Its always sad to see a screen legend totally lose it, but it's also funny as hell. My emotions are perplexed, I dont know if I should laugh or cry.

"And a local hardware supplier added, 'One time she came in and asked for dirt and boards to block up a hole in her backyard because, she said, 'That's a portal into another dimension. That's where the aliens are coming in.'"

If Shelly wanted to feign sanity, she should've said something rational when she entered the store like "I'm building a bomb shelter to dodge the nuclear holocaust."

Jesus. That batshit looney and she ain't even a Scientologist.

"The brown eye?"

Well, I was thinking more like the 'one eyed willy' kinda eye, but your suggestion works too.

I imagine Shelley Duvall saying all those things to her neighbours in that fragile voice and that crazy look (she had it in the 80's, imagine it nowadays!) and I have goosebumps.

I bet we'd all feel really stupid if it turns out Scientology was right and she's figured it all out. I, for one, welcome Xenu into my heart!

Maybe she is looking for hulk hogan like in suburban commando, which got way over looked in the oscar race of 1991

Ironic Jack played the crazy and he's out dancing with women 1/3 his age and floating in oceans, while this chick is seeing extra-terrestials. That's one big LOL!
DoucheNozzle writes:

I am sorry, but that story made me laugh really hard. Something about Olive Oil going batshit insane makes me smile. I wonder how long it takes for some Scientologists to scoop her up and tell her that she is a prophet of Xenu and must be impregnated by him by midnight on December 31, 2012 so that the alien portal can be opened so they can rule the Earth. But luckily for us, we got Schwarzenegger to stop them. Wait, that's a different version of End of Days. Nevermind. Boy, did that movie suck or what? Anyway, old crazy ladies are always hilarious.

I'm kinda bummed about this. Did any of you ever watch Fairytale Theater as a kid? It was a cool show where lesser and great known celebs played out classic fairytales in the 80s and Shelley was the host. I remember Christopher Reeves was in Sleeping Beauty, Robin Williams in the Frog Prince, Michael Richards in Pinochio, etc. So in a way, I grew up with Shelley so it sucks to see that she has gone off the deep-end. That being said, anyone up for traveling to Texas and going to her house dressed as Aliens?

She looked like Olive Oil from Popeye too.

How long as she been talking like this? Her friends are only worried now!? haha

"Many have spotted the 60-year-old Duvall, who hasn't acted since 2002, flashing her car lights in a bid to communicate with extra-terrestrials"

Come on Shelley, at least put the car in the backyard so they have a better chance of seeing the lights!
