Shelley Duvall, the classic awkward beauty, is 60 years old today. A real hero to the gawky too tall and too skinny high school girl, Shelley embraced her looks and even played the original bony and lanky girl, Olive Oyl, in Altman's "Popeye" (never mind her roles in Woody Allen, Stanley Kubrick, and those other Robert Altman movies). That movie is a classic (be damned all you hateful critics!) and she shines with her squeaky voice and giant shoes.
Just revisiting her singing "He Needs Me" makes me so happy (watch it here) and who doesn't smile when she sings "He's Large"?

I think every actress in the 70s rocked the cute "ears poking out of my hair" look. (Further evidence here).

Yes, that IS Bud Cort (of "Harold and Maude") in "Brewster McCloud."
