#32. shelley duvall in 3 women

an incredible actress of immense depth and range, shelley duvall's performance as millie lammoreaux is a testament to the talents of the reclusive, one-time superstar. altman's surreal picture, based upon a dream he once had (but could not remember the ending of), stars duvall, sissy spacek and janice rule as the titular women. altman delves deep into the behavioral psyche of his characters, focusing very lightly on a a plot-driven story, women can be a difficult film to watch, but you cannot deny the intriguing qualities of millie. duvall won the 1977 best actress award from the cannes film festival for her role. she now lives a reclusive life in texas.
