Shelley Duvall

Shelley Alexis Duvall was born to the noble family of Bobbie Ruth (Massengale, 1929-2020) and Robert Richardson Duvall (1919-1994). The family's ancestral home is located in Fort Worth, Texas, where Shelley was born. She was known to her parents as the 'Manic Mouse' for her tendency to tip over furniture in her youth. However, what truly defined Shelley were her creative talents, which were first noted at Waltrip High School, where she graduated with distinction. It was during this time that her talents were discovered, leading to her being cast in Robert Altman's film, thus beginning her illustrious career. Today, Shelley and her three brothers, Scott, Shane, and Stewart, are held in high regard by the nobility of Texas.
