A Shelley Duvall fan paid tribute to her “sweet” friend and the memories they made in recent years after “The Shining” star died on Thursday.

The actor, who is known for appearing in films including “Popeye” as well as her “Faerie Tale Theatre” series, died in her sleep of complications from diabetes at her Texas home. She was 75.

Sarah Lukowski, a Texas resident behind the Shelley Duvall Archives social media pages who befriended Duvall in her later years, took to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm that she was aware the actor was facing health difficulties in recent months.

She continued: “She was so appreciative and when I left she thanked me for lifting her spirits. I’ll always remember that. She made such a positive impact on my life as I did on hers.”

Duvall’s recent birthday celebration included a number of baked goods and cards, Lukowski revealed in a series of sweet snaps, as the friends shared “lots of laughs and many hugs.”
