Shelley Duvall has starred in films such as "Popeye," "The Shining," "Roxanne," and more. However, many don't know that in 1982, she created, hosted, and produced an anthology series called "Faerie Tale Theatre." Each 50-minute episode of the Showtime series — which aired for six seasons — featured a live-action adaptation of a classic fairy tale, usually with a twist from the original storyline. The third season featured an episode based on the tale of Beauty and the Beast, starring Susan Sarandon and Anjelica Huston.
Fun fact: Susan Sarandon and Anjelica Houston weren't the only heavy-hitting actors to star in the series. Throughout its six seasons, the show featured famous actors such as Helen Mirren, Leonard Nimoy, James Earl Jones, Matthew Broderick, Eve Arden, Billy Crystal, Jeff Goldblum, Frank Zappa, Liza Minnelli, Carrie Fisher, and more. Directors such as Tim Burton and Francis Ford Coppola were also attached to the project.
