The Shining star Shelley Duvall has given her first interview in over a decade, and says that she believes Robin Williams is still alive.

The actress, who retired back in 2002, told Dr Phil that she thinks the late star is "shapeshifting" as she was questioned about her health.

When the pair came on to the topic of Williams, Duvall admitted she had a "great" time filming 1980's Popeye with him.

"I loved Robin," the 67-year-old said. "He was so much fun to work with. He came up with the best jokes outta nowhere, like off camera."

Asked about her feelings after his death in 2014, Duvall then revealed she did not believe he is dead.

"Well beetles escapes," she replied, "I don't know, stones escapes."

Dr Phil then asked where she thought he was, the former actress replying: "Shapeshifting".

"He looks real good in some forms and in other forms he doesn't," adding that she "half" saw him.

In the interview, Duvall was pressed about her health, the actress revealing: "Well, you know, damned if I do, damned if I don't. I mean, if I say I'm healthy, first thing they'll do is hurt me tonight."

Asked who "they" were, Duvall replied: "Whoever is in the security... or at the bank... doing night work..."

In a preview clip, the star admitted that she was "very sick" and "needed help".

OMG! I've been reading about her over recent years and her activities where she lives in the country in Texas. People saying they've seen her rambling to herself with a car full of junk piled up and what not.

I remember reading an article where she had told neighbours that there was an alien portal at the end of her garden!?

Poor woman has had a major breakdown, I hope she gets the help she needs now.

You can do it Shelley!

yeah i hope she gets better

but on the other hand maybe she is happy being crazy

reality is pretty grim tbh i wouldn't want to force it on anyone, let ha believe in her alien portal stuff as long as she is happy

Just goes to show you that mental illness can happen to anyone. I wouldn't know her at all if I passed her in the street which is band considering how striking she once looked. You can tell by her eyes that she's really sick, they're glaring.

I would LOVE her to get on top of all of this and have a real fairytale ending. Bless her.

why the **** does Dr. Phil have her on TV when she clearly needs some help not to be mocked on a TV show
