Although it may at times seem like acting is the best job in the world, there are darker, more challenging aspects to the profession. A movie part nearly brought these performers’ lives to an abrupt end, from physical injuries to professional setbacks and emotional damage.
So, explore this article to read various instances where movie roles nearly ruined celebrities’ lives.
Shelley Duvall was emotionally abused on The Shining
Although Stanley Kubrick has directed some great movies, several of his companions have also reported that he can be very challenging to deal with. Things went wrong when he directed the movie “The Shining”. In one of Shelley Duvall’s roles, the character’s husband goes insane and tries to murder her and their children.
Shelly Duvall broke down on set during one sequence that had to be shot a minimum of 127 times before Kubrick was satisfied with it, in which her husband was chasing her with an axe. Her hands were badly cut, her speech was hoarse, and she had become dehydrated from sobbing so much. It goes without saying that the role negatively impacted Duvall’s mental state, which subsequently got worse.
