Yes Stanley Kubrick was a swine to her on set, apparently it was intentional by him in order to get the best performance out of her - it worked I guess.
Can you believe the scene where Jack stalks Wendy from his desk up the staircase (before she hits him with the baseball bat) was done 127 TIMES before Kubrick was happy? Poor Shelley.

I DON'T THINK Shelley Duvall was entirely acting , the clips I've seen she looks genuinely terrified and traumatised. I think her mental health was affected.
Yes Kubrick got his results but at what cost. But I know the movie has its creepy moments. I might watch it one day.
