Shelley Duvall

If you only know her as Olive Oyl in Popeye or as Wendy Torrance--Jack Nicholson's terrorized wife in The Shining--you're missing a lot.  This doe-eyed, waifish actress began her career as part of Robert Altman's coterie of players.  Standout performances include 3 Women, Nashville, and Annie Hall ("Sex with you is a Kafka-esque experience.  I mean that as a compliment").  Her dramatic abilities are undeniable, but could she make it today?
