Arts RIP Adrienne Shelly
posted by on November 3 at 9:58 AM
Here’s some sad and surprising news: Adrienne Shelly, the small and quirky actress many of us learned to love via her starring roles in Hal Hartley’s The Unbelievable Truth and Trust and who most recently appeared in the Bukowski adaptation Factotum, was found dead on Wednesday in her New York City office.
Full news report here.
In addition to acting, Ms. Shelly was the writer and director of numerous indie films, and endeared herself to the local film community by participating in SIFF’s 1999 Fly Filmmaking Challenge. No word yet on the cause of death. RIP, Ms. Shelly.
What's lame is that they have a photo of Ally Sheedy where a photo of Adrienne Shelly should be.
"Gimme five dollars"
You beat me to it.
WHAT? That's horrible.
Why am I reading this in Pravda?
Indeed, this is extremely sad. Trust has always been one of my favorites. I also really enjoyed one of her earlier non-Hartley efforts, Grind. I hope I'm wrong, but this doesn't sound like a natural death.
