US actress Shelley Duvall, best known for films like The Shining, Annie Hall and Nashville, has died at the age of 75.

According to her partner Dan Gilroy, she died in her sleep following complications with diabetes at her home in Texas.
"My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us. Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley," he said.

In 1977 Duvall won the Cannes Film Festival's best actress award and was nominated for a Bafta for her appearance in the drama 3 Women.

She also set up her own production companies, and made and hosted beloved 1980s children's TV show Faerie Tale Theatre.

Duvall spent two decades out of the limelight in Hollywood before making her comeback in 2023's The Forest Hills.
