With her loss today, everyone is posting about her role in "The Shining," but I really enjoyed her in "Popeye," playing opposite the legendary Robin Williams, as Olive Oyl.

Movie trivia: The makeup department actually reduced Robin's arm hair by 72% on those prosthetics

This year is 10 years since Robin died

shelly duvalls fairy tale theater was my favorite as a kid

She was perfect as Olive Oyl, and I cannot think of anyone else, before or since the film, who could have played her.
beckerthorne
This is also one of my most favorite soundtracks!

I believe Robin Williams was also the first choice for the Riddler in Batman Forever

Red Letter Media said her casting as Olive Oyl was the most perfect person for a single role EVER. I'm inclined to agree.

“He needs me” is a genuinely great song

I've been at the purpose build village in Malta where they filmed this. (well, me and every other tourist that ever touched Malta) https://popeyemalta.com/

Same, the only picture I took was a black and white shot of the graveyard though. Felt fitting, ya know.

Uh, I realise now that she passed away and my comment is just talking about a graveyard shot. Apparently it took me two posts on her passing to get the message.

For some reason one refuses to acknowledge this movie.

Very good, underrated for others, movie.

(Popeye surprises Olive Oyl) Olive: "you scared the wits out of me!" ... Popeye, mumbling: "yea, I almost knocked 'em outta ya, too"

Probably the best casting ever for a film adaptation of anything.

It's sad because they're both dead

Too bad “Dr” Phil exploited her psychiatric problems to make a spectacle of her in his interview. https://www.the-sun.com/tv/11897121/shelley-duvall-dr-phil-interview-the-shining/amp/

Phil is an asshole so no surprise
