Reminder that Shelley Duvall denied that she was "traumatized " by working on The Shining several times, describing Kubrick as demanding but warm and friendly. It's depressing how people once attacked her for "bad" acting, and then when they started praising her, only did so by claiming it "wasn't really acting" and framing her as a victim. No, she was just acting, and it's weird how people dance around finding excuses instead of saying the truth: that her role in The Shining wasn't just good acting, but one of the greatest performances in horror history
