Amazing Behind the Scenes Photos From '3 Women' (1977)

3 Women is a 1977 American film directed by Robert Altman, starring Shelley Duvall, Sissy Spacek, and Janice Rule.

The story came directly from a dream Altman had, which he did not fully understand, but nonetheless adapted into a treatment, intending to film without a script. 20th Century Fox financed the project based on Altman’s reputation, but a script was completed before filming, although, as with most Altman films, the script was just the beginning for what emerges during production.

The film depicts the increasingly bizarre, mysterious relationship between a woman (Duvall) and her room mate (Spacek) in a dusty, underpopulated Californian town.
