 Shelley Duvall was a student at a junior college in Houston when Robert Altman came to town, scouting locations and casting extras for his 1970 movie Brewster McCloud. The film starred Bud Cort, later of Harold and Maude, as a young loner who lives secretly in a small room in the bowels of the Houston Astrodome. When Altman met Shelley Duvall, he gave her a small supporting role in the movie as an Astrodome tour guide who tries to seduce the innocent Brewster.
