SHELLEY DUVALL - UPDATE NEWS 2021 - HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

FROM: FEBRUARY 11, 2021

    And while we mention Time Bandits we have mentioned before the concern for the mental health of one of it's stars in Shelley Duvall and her interviews with the American TV institution that is 'Dr Phil' (2016) and the criticism of how she was portrayed and treated, whether she should even have been filmed at all is a moot point but we have shared the concern since and worried over the wellbeing of a dear and much beloved actor. 

So it comes as a sense of relief to note this article by Seth Abramovitch from The Hollywood Reporter which I confess I did not know and wondered if it wasn't rather similar to the USA's National Enquirer or similar but the article is well balanced and informative, affectionate even and well worth a read. 

Reassuring and even handed the senior journalist goes to some lengths to find Shelley and tracks her down in her beloved Texas. That she is better is a given and it would seem she had the treatment or found the solution to her troubles since the interview and it it should be noted and in fact the article goes to some length to stress that the team behind Dr Phil made an apparently still open invitation for her to receive treatment, counselling etc at the companies expense.
