Ray Johnson began the Shelley Duvall Fan Club in 1976. This followed the "First Marcel Duchamp Fan Club Meeting”, which was held at the Church of The Holy Trinity, on the Upper East Side, in April of 1971. In June of 1972, he held a "Meeting for Anna May Wong" at the New York Cultural Center. The "Paloma Picasso Fan Club Meeting" took place at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts on April 1st 1974. Others included the Guiseppe Arcimboldo Fan Club and the Jean Dubuffet Fan Club.
A second Shelley Duvall Fan Club Meeting took place on May 14th, 1977, on 53rd Street, “Between 5th and 6th Avenue”.
"Duvall is an interesting character, and she didn’t set out to be an actress. Robert Altman meets her at a party in Texas and puts her in his films. She sure didn’t look like any other actress, did act like any; she was a strange and unique figure. Her outsiderness fit in 1970s films. And Ray Johnson was fixated on her.”
