During the filming of The Shining, Shelley Duvall experienced several negative and traumatic experiences that affected her both mentally and physically. She was denied connection with others on set, which led to anxiety attacks and physical symptoms such as hair loss and shredded hands. Duvalls role was emotionally and physically exhausting, and she had to induce emotional pain and sorrow to be in the correct state of mind for the character. Stanley Kubrick, the director of the film, was accused of mistreating Duvall on set, and she was subjected to harrowing treatment that took a heavy toll on her mind and body. Duvall appeared on the "Dr. Phil Show" in 2016, where she spoke incoherently and was clearly in need of help. Despite her traumatic experience, Duvall continued to act until 2002, after which she withdrew from the spotlight and kept to herself in her Texas Hill Country home.
