 From that small beginning, Shelley Duvall quickly became one of the director's favorites, appearing in six more of his movies in increasingly larger and more complex roles. In the 1970s alone, she was in Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Thieves Like Us, Nashville, Buffalo Bill and the Indians, and Three Women. For that drama, which also co-starred Sissy Spacek and Janice Rule, Shelley Duvall won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival.
