Trailer: Adrienne Shelly in ‘Waitress’
Starring Kerri Russell, the romantic comedy Waitress debuted at the Sundance Film Festival just two months after the film’s writer/director Adrienne Shelly was found dead in her New York apartment in what was first thought to be a suicide, but deemed a murder a week later. As an actress, Shelly (pictured left, along with Curb Your Enthusiam’s Cheryl Hines, and Russell) was a staple of director Hal Hartley’s early movies (Unbelievable Truth, Trust) and went on to direct and write three feature-length films of her own, concluding with Waitress. By accounts from early reviews - the film will likely, posthumously garner the indie starlet her largest and most mainstream audience. Trailer.
