Shelley Duvall as Wendy Torrance in <em>The Shining</em> (1980)
A popular actress in the ‘70s and ‘80s, Shelley Duvall achieved a whole other level of fame playing Jack Nicholson’s nervous, eventually brutalized wife, Wendy, in The Shining. The scene everyone remembers? Nicholson’s wild-eyed “Here’s Jack!” entrance as poor Wendy cowers with a huge butcher knife in the bathroom. It’s almost as traumatic as the Psycho shower scene.
