Tragic actress Shelley Duvall wants to revive her showbiz career — and she’s asked RadarOnline.com to give her co-star in The Shining, Jack Nicholson, this message: “Send a plane for me!”

Duvall, 68, told RadarOnline.com: “Jack and I were good friends. I’d like him to give me a call. I would love to fly out to Los Angeles and be met with a limo at the airport.”

“I would consider offers, but they’d have to be good. I won Best Actress at Cannes. My awards have to mean something in terms of money,” she added.

As RadarOnline.com reported, Duvall is sadly unrecognizable from her Hollywood heyday in hits like Popeye and Annie Hall.

She complained of mental illness during a TV tell-all in November 2016, saying, “I’m very sick. I need help.”

More than a month later, RadarOnline.com spent a day with Duvall at the run-down ranch in Blanco, Texas, that she shares with longtime boyfriend, Dan Gilroy.

At the time, Duvall chain-smoked, complained she was a prisoner in her home and rambled about aliens.

“I’m miserable here! I really don’t want to die like this,” she said. “I have no money. I’ve made five TV series and a whole bunch of movies — and I have nothing!”

She also claimed she’d been “imprisoned” at an unnamed medical center.

“I was put in a facility. It was very subtle. They didn’t say, ‘You’re a prisoner,’ but you can’t get out,” she told RadarOnline.com.

But now Duvall, who lives on a Social Security check of less than $2,000 a month, said she’s ready for her Hollywood comeback.

“I like to do adventure movies, but I don’t have an adventure body. I wouldn’t like a personal trainer. I don’t like doing diets and those things,” she said.

“I would have surgery, but only to put a few things back, not really cosmetic surgery. I prefer a natural look.”

The once high-flying actress added: “Some people make out like it’s great to be crazy, but it isn’t. It’s absolutely f***ing miserable.”
