Adrienne Shelly mini-bio: Adrienne Shelly was an actress skeptical of her own ambitions and motivations prior to becoming a burgeoning filmmaker whose life was cut short by murder. Shelly starred in such notable indie hits as The Unbelievable Truth (1989) and Trust (1990). She eschewed the glitter of Hollywood for the grit of independent film, developing strong feelings about the objectification of women onscreen and believing that women belonged behind the camera as well as in front. With her last directing effort, a bittersweet comedy called Waitress, which premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival amidst sobs and cheers, Shelly left behind a message of hope and redemption, despite her own hopes being callously and senselessly ended.

Note that this was actually the third film that she wrote, directed, and co-starred in, the other two being I'll Take You There, and Sudden Manhatten. Any film that she appeared in is worth seeking out, her life was cut short wayyyyyyyyyyyy too soon, and in such a vile manner, the world is much worse off without her.
