Cinderella was the only girl who could fit into the glass slipper, right? But her two stepsisters cut off parts of their feet to try to fit them, too. That's just one gory detail Disney left out.

The Shining and it’s still one of the most haunting and masterful films in cinematic history.
On May 23, 1980
The Shining hit theaters for the first time leaving audiences chilled to their bones.
The film, which is famously adapted from the
Stephen King book of the same name, follows Jack Torrance (
Jack Nicholson) as he becomes the winter caretaker of the vacant but haunted Overlook Hotel. Jack is accompanied by his wife Wendy (
Shelley Duval) and their son Danny (
Danny Llyod). After a brutal winter storm leaves the family stranded at the hotel, Jack slowly begins to lose his sanity, becoming a threat to both his wife and son.
3 Women (1977) and
Popeye (1980). By
Thieves, Duvall had graduated to star billing, playing Keechie, a garage owner s daughter in Depression-era Mississippi who falls for an escaped convict, played by Keith Carradine. What she was doing in Altman movies like
Thieves was just transcendent, says Lily Tomlin, 81, who appeared with Duvall in
Nashville. (Duvall played a preening country music groupie, Tomlin a gospel singer raising two deaf kids.) She s sitting on the porch drinking a Coke in a swing, and Keith Carradine is coming on to her, and she s so innocent. The way she played that so sweet and funny and heartbreaking. It just killed me. Like so many others, Tomlin long ago lost touch with Duvall. I tried to find her for a minute when I first heard that she was gone off some place. I think I had a [project] idea for her at the time, Tomlin says. But I didn t really put a lot of sweat into it. I wish I had now.
