Yea its weird seeing her in that condition. I read an article that said she enjoyed playing Olive Oyl better than any other character. So she gets savaged by Kubrick on the set of the Shining and almost has a nervous breakdown then her next roll was as Olive Oyl in Popeye, an animated character in the land of children's make believe.

So then you get this thing where she thinks the Sheriff of Nottingham is after her and he was the villain in 1973's Robin Hood.

I'm not saying Kubrick did permanent damage to her but its a little weird multiple sources say Kubrick savaged her to get a great performance, for example they did the bar scene 125 times, and then she slowly regresses into the make believe world of children's stories. Its a sad thing to see.
That's an interesting observation. Though it's worth mentioning that she continued working for 22 years after The Shining.
I wonder where she was at mentally in, say, 1990 or 2000.
