American actress Shelley Duvall has passed away at 75.
Her partner, Dan Gilroy confirmed her death to The Hollywood Reporter.
She died in her sleep of complications from diabetes at her home in Blanco, Texas, Dan Gilroy, on Thursday.
“My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us. Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley,” THR quoted Gilroy as saying.
