Texas Twiggy
5.0/5
Critic Rating
Shelley Duvall is most known for her portrayal of Wendy Torrance in Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film The Shining , a performance that launched her into the public consciousness and furthered an already prolific career. But after decades in film, production, writing, composing, and the release of two musical albums, Duvall seemingly dropped off the face of the earth... Until a disastrous 2016 appearance on the Dr. Phil show, so maligned that it never aired. Texas Twiggy dives deep into the life and work of Shelley Duvall, with plenty of twists and turns along the way.

"Da questa sua semplice curiosità scaturisce una vera e propria indagine intorno alla figura di Duvall...Più si prosegue con l’ascolto di Texas Twiggy più l’interesse per la vita di Shelley Duvall lascia il posto, sia nelle parole dell’host che nelle orecchie di chi ascolta, a un crescente senso di tenera empatia nei suoi confronti... ////From this simple curiosity of his comes a real investigation into the figure of Duvall...The more you continue listening to Texas Twiggy the more the interest in Shelley Duvall's life gives way, both in the words of the host and in the ears of the listener, to a growing sense of tender empathy towards her..."
