Do you remember Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl in the movie Popeye?

Asked by smudges (11189points) July 11th, 2024

She was also famous for The Shining, but I just loved her as Olive Oyl – she was a perfect fit. She passed away today at age 75. The song “He’s Large” cracks me up!

She was a household name in the ‘70s after quickly rising to fame as one of the biggest movie stars of her generation.

Olive Oyl fit per personality perfectly!!! I was soooo disappointed in the interview Dr Phil did with her as he seemed to disrespect her greatly.

I rarely watch talk shows, and would never watch “Dr.” Phil, so I missed it. What a shame that he treated her badly.

She was perfect as O.O.
Her work on Faerie Tale Theatre was wonderful.

Was a really good actress. Always sad to see a Hollywood talent pass away. I like her movies with Altman.
