Shelley Duval Cloned from Keely Smith?

Watching the scene of Mitchum and Smith sitting on the couch watching the rain, discussing the philosophy of the natural freedom to make 'shine and the benefits of military service. If you don't know better that has to be Duval. At least sisters, but you can argue for clones too.

Nice singer, I knew the name but don't think I ever heard her perform before. Her hair stylist did her no favors.

Excellent ! I could not think of who the hell she reminded me of !! The closest
I could figure was Carolyn Jones (in 'King Creole' maybe ?) but it didn't feel right so I went back to wonderin' but finally forgot about it until I clicked on here and saw your post !!

At least Shelley Duval has eyelashes.

My first thought was that she was the hotter, hornier sister of Miss Hathaway from "The Beverly Hillbillies".

Scout from To Kill a Mocking Bird thirty years later. Same haircut. Speaking of Shelly Duvall if you really want to see/hear something awful check out her singing in "Popeye"

Keely Smith at one point was married to Louis Prima; they used to perform together for quite a few years.
