The news of her death has sent shockwaves among her fans, who took to social media to pay their tributes to the actor. One fan said, “This is an incredible loss of an artist… she will be missed.” A second fan wrote, “I’m heartbroken to hear about the passing of the beautiful, bright Shelley Duvall. ‘Faerie Tale Theatre’ was a huge part of my childhood; it’s what introduced me to the bright, bubbly, lovely Duvall. May she find peace, love, and light.” A third fan commented, “Shelley Duvall lit up the screen – every film she was in was brighter for her presence, and yet the industry (and life) were frequently so cruel to her. I'm sad she's died, but glad she was living a good life in her final years by all accounts. There won’t be another like her.”
