3 Women
Director Robert Altman claimed that the idea for 3 Women came to him in a dream. Variety called the film “a one-of-a-kind redneck fusion of Tennessee Williams and Persona.”
Shelley Duvall won Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for perhaps her best role: Millie, the vain chatterbox roommate to naive teenage coworker Pinky (Sissy Spacek), with whom she appears to exchange identities. Janice Rule also stars.
