That's kind of my point. In Hollywood they are all a bit eccentric. (Much better wording than I was using. Thank you.) Would a director, especially when that movie was made, be expected to know the difference? I'm not saying he's a nice guy....I just don't think he's on par with "doctor" Phil in having taken advantage of Shelly. (Just my opinion.)
There are also so many people in Hollywood dealing with depression severe depressions, often leading to suicide and/or drug addictions.
Kubrick exploited her with fear. He wanted his movie to be good. It was about money for him too. Ratings. Good box office. So he terrified her and treated her like crap on set. Apparently during the filming, someone was trying to get her to see a psychiatrist. So, it was apparent when she was laying in a fetal position in her dressing room trailer, that she was having mental problems.
This is awful... it's disgusting what people got away with even only that long ago. Poor woman, should never have been put through any of this. I wonder how different her life would have been had this been stopped? (She surely would have needed other help too, but, this was significant.)

When I click on the link it says the page cannot be found.
Anybody hear any updates on Shelley?
So bizarre that you've brought this up...I am currently watching part of her interview on YouTube. Are you cyberstalking me?
Yes. haoehaoheohaea! I was just thinking about her the other day and had meant to ask if anyone had heard any updates. I hope she's okay.
I can't find much beyond November 19th when Vivian Kubrick set up a GoFundMe for her.

I don't know if anyone has posted this link, but People Magazine printed the above article. I conclude that Miss Duvall isn't quite ready to receive the help she so desperately needs.

...I conclude that Dr. Phil is still an asshat.....
Wow, you guys! Everyone is so hard on Dr. Phil. I'm going to be the cheese that stands alone once again. I like him.
....it's no offense meant to you ma'am....I just think he's a charlatan, and he played her for a fool.....
No, I get it. People here don't like him.
I personally think he tried very hard to get her help, to get her connected to the people who could help her. I think he treated her very respectfully.
You're not alone Dana Jean. At least he's trying to help, regardless of how he benefits. Dr. Phil is doing something.
Dr Phil used to be ok, somewhat - years ago. I kinda liked the way he said it like it was.. Now I feel that he exploits everyone for ratings and the books and products he sells for himself, his wife's beauty products and his son's Dr. show.
Always the same. Let them cry, almost get Maury like, blame the parents - Send them off to some fancy rehab owned by one of his friends.
Sold out. Shame. But that's just my opinion.
