Forgotten stars: Duvall and Flaherty were omitted from the Emmy tribute

Shelley Duvall, star of The Shining, passed away in July this year. During the 2024 Emmy Awards ceremony, tributes were paid to many deceased film and television stars, but the actress was forgotten.

On the night of Sunday to Monday, September 16, the Emmy Awards, also known as the television Oscars, were presented. The biggest winner of the gala was the creators of the "Shogun" series from FX, which is also available on the Disney+ platform. As every year, the gathered guests paid tribute to stars who have passed away recently. The In Memoriam segment always attracts the attention of internet users. And almost every year, the same thing happens: some stars are forgotten.

During Sunday night's Emmy Awards broadcast, the In Memoriam segment paid tribute to many people in the television industry who had passed away in the last eight months. Those mentioned were Shannen Doherty, Chance Perdomo, Martin Mull, and Richard Lewis.

Unfortunately, the segment missed two outstanding figures: Shelley Duvall and Joe Flaherty. Although best known for her film roles with directors such as Robert Altman and Stanley Kubrick, Duvall also had a significant television career. She was nominated twice for an Emmy, and her shows, such as "Faerie Tale Theatre" and "Shelley Duvall's Bedtime Stories," were popular.

Shelley Duvall passed away in July 2024 at the age of 75. She gained the most popularity thanks to her performance in Kubrick's "The Shining" as the wife of a man descending into madness, played by Jack Nicholson. Her omission during the Emmy gala is another sad episode in her history. Recall that in the last several years, Duvall had been forgotten. The actress, suffering from mental illness for years, got lost, living in a car filled with garbage. In 2023, her fate changed for some time. She starred in the horror film "The Forest Hills." "I love this job. It can pull a person out of a rut," she commented.

Health problems did not disappear. The actress's partner, Dan Gilroy, confirmed that complications from diabetes were the cause of death.
