Movie legend Shelley Duvall, known for her iconic roles in films such as “The Shining,” “Popeye” and “Annie Hall,” passed away three months ago in July.
Her final on-screen interview became a short documentary titled “Hello Shelly,” which will mark its world premiere at the Lynchburg Film Festival on Oct. 27 at the Academy Center of the Arts.
The film was shot and directed by San Antonio, Texas native Zach Goodwin, who had originally intended to make a longer documentary.
“I always planned on using the interview for a larger project that never came to fruition, and didn’t circle back to it until after her passing,” Goodwin said in a news release.
Duvall retired from acting and stepped away from Hollywood in 2002, moving to Central Texas. She was rarely seen or heard from in the last two decades, but was recently cast in a small independent film role.

Goodwin met Duvall through a family friend. They had lunch, and he asked if she would be willing to be interviewed on camera. She agreed to be interviewed in exchange for some groceries.
“I felt her words and heart from this conversation needed to be shared,” he said in the release.
