Shelley Duvall suffered from several anxiety attacks and near mental collapse during the 56 weeks of filming. In a 2016 interview on Dr. Phil (2002), she revealed that Stanley Kubrick, known for pushing his actors to their breaking point, had bullied her throughout the production and treated her more severely than any other cast member, a point Jack Nicholson affirmed. Duvall pointed out that her character was in a near constant state of panic, anxiety and fear; given the punishing shoot schedule (six days a week averaging sixteen hours per day) she had no relief, telling Dr. Phil, aka Phil McGraw, she believed the film caused her permanent psychological damage.
