Best known for her roles in films like The Shining and Popeye, as well as her series Faerie Tale Theatre, she also crossed paths with Jim Henson and the Muppets on a few occasions.
In 1986, Duvall was featured in an issue of Muppet Magazine, promoting her Faerie Tale Theatre series. You can read her full spotlight below.
