Shelley Duvall overlooked in the 2024 Emmy Awards In Memoriam segment
Shelley Duvall, star of The Shining, passed away in July this year. During the 2024 Emmy Awards ceremony, tributes were paid to many deceased film and television stars. However, the actress was forgotten.
The Emmy Awards, also known as the television Oscars, were presented from Sunday to Monday, September 15th. The biggest winner of the gala was the creators of the "Shogun" series from FX, which could also be watched on the Disney+ platform. Every year, the gathered guests pay tribute to stars who have passed away recently. The In Memoriam segment also attracts internet users' attention. And almost every year, the same thing happens: some stars are forgotten.
In memoriam at the 2024 Emmy without Duvall
During Sunday night's Emmy Awards broadcast, the In Memoriam segment paid tribute to many people associated with the television industry who had passed away in the last eight months. Shannen Doherty, Chance Perdomo, Martin Mull, and Richard Lewis were among them.
Unfortunately, the segment missed two outstanding figures – Shelley Duvall and Joe Flaherty. Although best known for her film roles with directors such as Robert Altman and Stanley Kubrick, Duvall also had a significant television career. She was nominated twice for an Emmy, and her shows, such as "Faerie Tale Theatre" and "Shelley Duvall's Bedtime Stories," were popular.
Shelley Duvall passed away in July 2024 at the age of 75. She gained the most popularity thanks to her performance in Kubrick's "The Shining" as the wife alongside her husband descending into madness, played by Jack Nicholson. Her omission during the Emmy gala is another sad episode in her history. Recall that in the last several years, Duvall had been forgotten. The actress, suffering from mental illness for years, got lost, living in a car filled with rubbish. In 2023, her fate changed for some time. She starred in the horror film "The Forest Hills". "I love this job. It can pull a person out of a rut," she commented.
Her health problems did not disappear. The actress's partner, Dan Gilroy, confirmed that complications from diabetes were the cause of death.
