Has there ever been an actress more able to convey emotion with her giant eyes than Shelley Duvall?

10/10 I'm not even a big Shelley Duvall, I guessed a couple of them, just Lucky I guess... Lol 😆😂!!!
7/10 Great job! She was good playing as Olive Oyl in the movie Popeye.
RIP Shelley
RIP Shelley
My daughters & I watched "Popeye" yesterday, in tribute. It turns out that she made 7 movies with Robert Altman! Brewster McCloud; McCabe & Mrs. Miller; Thieves Like Us; Nashville; Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson; 3 Women; and Popeye.
She was really good playing Olive Oyl. Truth be told, I can't think of anyone who wasn't well-cast in that movie.
Yes. I remember this movie that the late Robin Williams played good as Popeye the Sailor and it was a true classic and of course cast was great.
And it was a stroke of genius to cast both Popeye and his father Poopdeck Pappy with two guys best-known (at the time) for playing aliens living with regular earth people.
7/10, but what amazes me, how MeTV left out the Shinning with Jack Nicholson as one of the lead Actors.
“The Shinning” was the “Simpsons” spoof of “The Shining”. There were actual moments from that episode that I thought were scarier than anything in the actual movie.
They specifically said in the intro material (that apparently few people read) that they left out "The Shining" on purpose.
I loved Faerie Tale Theatre; it's proably on YouTube, but I wish some channel would stream it again.
5/10. I wasn’t a huge fan but I thought she added an interesting quirkiness to the films she was in. She had beautiful, big eyes and was so gawky, and had an almost otherworldly presence to me. R.I.P. Shelly.
