Renowned actress and horror icon Shelley Duvall is making an exciting return to acting with her role in the upcoming indie horror movie “The Forest Hills.” This film represents her first acting endeavor in over two decades, creating a buzz of anticipation among her fans.
Famously known for her role in Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining,” Duvall has remained largely out of the public eye since her last screen appearance in the 2002 movie “Manna from Heaven.” She has since led a more secluded life, making only rare public appearances that have drawn considerable attention.
In a recent dialogue with the New York Times, Duvall opened up about the obstacles she encountered throughout her life and career. She discussed the severe impact that paranoia and delusional thinking had on her, with her longtime partner, Dan Gilroy, revealing that her troubles worsened following the devastating 1994 Northridge earthquake, which destroyed their home in Los Angeles.
Despite these personal challenges, Duvall’s reemergence in the film industry has been well-received, especially by colleagues on the set of “The Forest Hills” who praised her remarkable acting prowess.
Scheduled for release later this year, “The Forest Hills” is anticipated to offer a compelling horror narrative. Duvall’s resurgence not only underscores her impressive resilience but also reaffirms her status as a seminal figure in the acting community. Her participation in this film marks a significant chapter in her diverse and impactful career.
