Keith Carradine Remembers His ‘Nashville’ and ‘Thieves Like Us’ Co-Star Shelley Duvall: ‘What You Saw on Screen, That’s Just Who She Was’

There was also her delicate work opposite Carradine in “ Thieves Like Us,” a Depression era crime film about an escaped convict and the woman he falls in love with while on the lam.
