Another director that was known for his perfectionist and abusive attitude was Stanley Kubrick. Even though The Shining was a massive success, his treatment of actress Shelley Duvall was tyrannical on sets. The director argued with her repeatedly and isolated her from the rest of the crew. The stress even caused Duvall’s hair to fall out and she became ill. These tensions between the two made headlines.
