Sadly, that victim identity was only reinforced in the mid-2010s, when Duvall appeared on an episode of “Dr. Phil” episode with a ratings-bait title, the then 67-year-old actress made confusing claims and was apparently struggling with her mental health.

It was buoyed, however, by Duvall, whose unique charm and childlike whimsy as host and presenter of each tale was the perfect fairy dust. A reminder to perhaps not focus so much on her elusiveness, but on the legacy of Duvall’s work – which was there all along.

Shelley Duvall, who died on Thursday at 75, had one of the most thrilling and complicated careers in modern cinema history. Discovered by the director Robert Altman, who became her greatest collaborator, Duvall fell into acting almost by accident. Her layered and detailed performances in the likes of “3 Women” and “The Shining” made her a celebrated star. In later life, Duvall retreated from acting and the public eye, but left behind a remarkable and diverse body of work. Once she appears onscreen as the tour guide Suzanne, it’s clear she is one of the most unusual presences ever to grace the screen.

☆ Shelley Duvall in ‘The Shining’: A Perfect Gothic Heroine Had a Deep Well of Strength

If Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” was a twist on the centuries-old Gothic horror genre, there was no one better suited to play a modern Gothic heroine than Shelley Duvall. Duvall, who died Thursday at 75, was in her late 20s when she shot the role of Wendy Torrance, put-upon wife of blocked writer Jack (Jack Nicholson). The pair have holed up with their young son in the Overlook Hotel, working as winter caretakers. Wendy is virtually trapped there, a small woman often alone in a rambling, dangerous building full of secrets. The Gothic heroine, the woman trapped in the menacing haunted home, must exhibit courage in the face of danger, remaining resolute while also being susceptible to the evil that lurks around every corner.

Ms. Duvall wasn’t planning on a film career when she met Mr. Altman while he was filming “Brewster McCloud” (1970); she had thrown a party to sell her husband’s artwork, and members of his film crew were in attendance. Taken with her, they introduced her to Mr. Altman, a director with his own reputation for oddball movies and offbeat casting. She also starred as Olive Oyl opposite Robin Williams in “Popeye” (1980). “I thought: boy, if it’s this easy, why doesn’t everybody act?” she told The New York Times in April. Her work with Mr. Altman cemented Ms. Duvall’s career; with her gossamer frame and toothy smile, she was the go-to actress for any role that called for an out-of-the-ordinary performance.

On a winding back road of Texas Hill Country, Shelley Duvall pulled over and lit another cigarette. “How did you like Egypt?” she called out from the white Toyota 4Runner she spends most of her days in, and some nights, much to the chagrin of her partner, Dan Gilroy. “Next stop: Santa Fe!” she announced before vanishing down the road in a cloud of dust. To follow Ms. Duvall, 74, on the road and in conversation, is to enter into powerfully imaginative realms. Stories that begin in a certain direction have a habit of taking the scenic route, and, occasionally, swerving excitingly off-piste.

“One of the stories is that two girls from Texas [Miss Duvall and Miss Spacek] meet in Palm Springs and undergo a metamorphosis. She's a product of everything she watches and she reads, such as her favorite magazines—McCall's, Redbook and Apartment Life. It's really sort of a mundane existence until Pinky [Miss Spaeel() comes along and answers her ad for a roommate.”And the other levels? “I put so much of myself into Millie, especially the parts I don't care to see, all the vanities and the mundane things, such as Millie's fondness for tuna‐melt sandwiches, and Scrabble, and the color yellow. She lives in a fantasy, writing in her diary things that don't really happen to her, and totally ignoring the truth—that she really isn't popular.”
