After hearing about Shelley Duvall passing away a month ago I made plans to watch this old movie again, it's been a long time since I first watched this film. I just watched it for the second time, yesterday night.
3 Women (1977). A new shy girl is hired at a health spa for the elderly in a small desert town in California. She meets a co-worker who is constantly socializing with people, and the new girl becomes obsessively intrigued by her co-worker. Upon discovering her co-worker needs a new roommate, she immediately takes the offer to live with her. Now this shy younger girl is living with a totally polar-opposite social woman who likes to drink and party all the time. As could be predicted, tensions begin to rise over their living situations and completely different lifestyles. After a heated dispute, the shy girl survives a suicide attempt but falls into a coma. The co-worker is shocked and devastated, having no intention of ever hurting her roommate in any way. After the co-worker visits her at the hospital on a routine basis, her shy younger roommate regains consciousness. The only problem is her roommate is not so shy anymore, her behavior and attitude has drastically changed. After the recovery the once-shy girl begins to drink, smoke and starts to sleep around with the local men. The shift in her personality starts to cause tensions to flare up once again, this time with another woman becoming pregnant and abandoned by a drunk they both have been sleeping around with.
