    Shelley Duvall’s “Faerie Tale Theatre” Available to Watch Now

    We just wanted to take a minute to remember the late great Shelley Duvall. While she is probably best known as Jack’s tortured wife Wendy in Stanley Kubrick‘s seminal “The Shining,” she was also a pioneer of children’s television. We say this because a lot of people have never heard of, let alone seen, any episodes of “Shelley Duvall’s Faerie Tale Theatre.”

    The 27-episode anthology series first premiered in 1982, and ran for 6 seasons. Every episode would begin with Duvall introducing herself, and giving a brief synopsis of the classic fairy tale the episode would be telling. The truly amazing part is just how many notable stars appeared both in front of and behind the camera.

    Just as an example, the very first episode is “The Frog Prince.” In it, Teri Garr plays a spoiled princess who finds her Prince Charming (Robin Williams) as a horrible frog. Rene Auberjonois (“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “Boston Legal“) also stars. It was written and directed by Monty Python’s Eric Idle. You can’t get more epic than that.

    Okay, how about “Rapunzel,” but with Jeff Bridges as the Prince? Or “Sleeping Beauty,” with Bernadette Peters as the Princess, and Christopher Reeve as Prince Charming?! Or Jamie Lee Curtis as Annie Oakley? Seriously, it’s incredible to see the names attached.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
